NEVADA: DISCRIMINATION
ON THE BASIS OF CLOTHING OR CLUB MEMBERSHIP IS ILLEGAL
Nevada Revised Statute Title
54 Section 651.070 et seq. provides that all persons shall be entitled
to equal enjoyment of places of public accommodation. The Nevada
Equal Rights Commission receives and investigates complaints of
discrimination as they relate to full and equal enjoyment of services/facilities,
employment and day to day living. In addition, 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 or other appropriate equitable relief, including the
award of compensatory monetary damages. The Constitution of the
State of Nevada, Article 1, Section; 9 dictates that every citizen
shall be able to speak freely, as well as write and publish sentiments
on all subjects. The United States Supreme Court has ruled in the
case of Cohen v. California, 403 U.S. 15 (1971) that individuals
have the constitutional right under the First Amendment to wear
clothing which displays writing or designs. In addition, the right
of an individual to freedom of association has long been recognized
and protected by the 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 membership are subject to a lawsuit.
