    In the general case, nothing. Not too long ago I was in a Ben & Jerry’s that had closed its bathroom down, for example.

    The bartender in question here committed battery; that’s the underlying crime, not denying bathroom access. The hate crime rider on top is, by definition, an enhanced penalty for thinking illegal thoughts while committing some other crime.
