    There are two rights that the courts have traditionally protected, the right to say (or not say) what you want, and the right to be free of discrimination.

    In this case, the two rights were in conflict. The court decided that the first one takes precedence.

      That’s to be free of discrimination by the state, which usually will treat your obligations independently of your rights.

      While private discrimination is always something in the grey area. By private discrimination I mean both a banner saying “<any grouping at all> are not welcome here” and having face control (something quite normal for night clubs, and you’ll also pick your tenants if you rent out).
