No, you can't. You have to have an actual reason (they're disturbing customers, destroying property, etc). And that reason can't be because of race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation. That pesky Civil Rights act gets in the way of that. 

I'm from Indiana. Fuck this law

Well, yes. He probably meant that like I did in my post. It shouldn't have to be typed. You should be able to refuse anyone, with a reason.

Civil rights has protected people from discrimination. Discrimination is not a reason to ban people from a business. Hospitals are businesses too. What happens if a gay person has life threatening illness or injury and dont have very long to live? Those religious hospitals would be to blame.

If a hospital refused to serve certain patients the insurance companies who would have agreements in place with the hospital would sue them for breach on contract and the bad publicity would destroy them. Their are pleanty on incentives for business to not descriminate and allowing people to chose who they do business with would only results in a few small business turning certain people away in the worst of the states.

Freedom of association also means freedom from association.
