The law makes a distinction between simple private property and places of
"public accomodation".

"Place of public accommodation" means a business, accommodation,
refreshment, entertainment, recreation, or transportation facility of any
kind, whether licensed or not, whose goods, services, facilities,
privileges, advantages or accommodations are extended, offered, sold, or
otherwise made available to the public...

Here's what the Idaho Statute says:
                                 TITLE  67
                    STATE GOVERNMENT AND STATE AFFAIRS
                                CHAPTER 59
                        COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS
 67-5909.  ACTS PROHIBITED. It shall be a prohibited act to discriminate
against a person because of, or on a basis of, race, color, religion, sex
or national origin, in any of the following...

5)  For a person;
    (a)  to deny an individual the full and equal enjoyment of the goods,
    services, facilities, privileges, advantages and accommodations of a
    place of public accommodation, or
    (b)  to print, circulate, post, or mail or otherwise cause to be
    published a statement, advertisement or sign which indicates that the
    full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities,
    privileges, advantages of a place of public accommodation will be
    refused, withheld from, or denied an individual or that an individual's
    patronage of or presence at a place of public accommodation is
    objectionable, unwelcome, unacceptable, or undesirable.

It's similar to the U.S. Civil Rights Act of 1964. The ADA has other
requirements regarding disabilities. In other states and municipalities, the
list of protected classes may be longer and more inclusive.
