[nagdu] access refused at Inn

[Marianne Denning]

John, they cannot refuse service.  You can choose to make it an issue
and have them call the police to settle it.  If you have an iPhone you
can get the NAGDU app and show them the law for that state or you can
do what you did and find another place to stay.  We face that on a
regular basis.  Many times people from other countries may not be
familiar with our laws so we need to educate them.
