DISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS
OF CLOTHING OR CLUB MEMBERSHIP IS ILLEGAL
Any person
whose exercise or enjoyment of rights secured by the
Constitution or laws of the United States has been
interfered with, or attempted to be interfered with
may institute and prosecute a civil action for
injunctive and other appropriate equitable relief
including the award of compensatory monetary
damages. The Supreme Court ruled in the case of
Cohen vs. California, 403 U.S.15 (1971) that
individuals have the constitutional right under the
First Amendment to wear clothing which displays
writings or designs. In addition, the right of an
individual to freedom of association has long been
recognized and protected by the United States
Supreme Court. Thus, a person's right to wear the
clothing of his choice, as well as his right to
belong to any club or organization of his choice is
constitutionally protected, and persons or
establishments who discriminate on the basis of
clothing or club memberships are subject to lawsuit.
