On the other hand, I might want to go to those bars.

I think the greatest thing about this is the choice. If you don't like this practice, vote with your wallet. If you do, then the same rules apply. I think the biggest issue a lot of people may have is the possibility that the choice aspect is taken away.

Ah you don't know abut the pressure licencing bodies and local politicians can put on land lords.

One pub I used to goto was well know as the only pub in town that did not have bouncers at the weekend.

Right....

I mean I might want to go to a bar that's full of KKK members, because they serve nice beer. I have 2 choices go there for the beer, and perhaps inadvertently support the KKK, or the bars stance on that. Or I could not drink there. That's my choice, I'm not sure I could go to the anti KKK league rally and complain that I want to drink at that bar.
