We do that all the time when it comes to the right to associate with others of our choosing, why is this any different?
no....show me a law where we strip people of a right.
High Court Rules Cities May Ban Bias by Clubs : Justices Uphold New York Law Forcing Large, Private Groups to Accept Women, Minorities - Los Angeles Times
The justices said clubs with large membership rosters that serve meals regularly and that rent their facilities to outsiders are more like business establishments than intimate social groups. Therefore, these clubs have no right to escape anti-discrimination regulations that apply to businesses, the court said.
An individual club could still defend its exclusivity on individual grounds, said Milton E. Meyer, past president of the National Club Assn.
In 1984, the justices said the Jaycees were not a truely private organization and therefore could not exclude women as members, and last year the court applied the same principle to the more exclusive Rotary Clubs. In both opinions, the justices said that some private clubs may be so small and intimate that they are off limits to government regulation, but that larger clubs where business is transacted are not similarly immune.
