As I understand it, the proprietor didn't evict him-- the other diners

gave him a hard time verbally until he left (exercised their free

Lucy says:
You'll notice Ron, that the ACT doesn't say For a *proprietor,*
it says For a *person.*  Therefore, it doesn't really make a difference
*who* denies another individual according to the Act.



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.




I've been to bars like that...
