After reading a bit more there seems to be a clearer precedent set with things like this. There is a presumption of non-discriminatory service that standing goods a business produces have—that is if something is on a menu, or there are pre-made cakes in a bakery for example... it's expected anyone coming in off the street (gay, black, otherwise) will have the same experience (or opportunity to purchase, I guess) as anyone else. Where it seems to get dicey is compelled service that can fall under creative production. This is actually what the supreme court ruled in a cake baking case where a guy refused to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding.
The court rules that the baker being compelled to pipe words or ideals on the cake that they don't subscribe is protected against freedom of expression. The government can't compel action. It should be noted the baker doesn't deny service to gay customers who just pick stuff up out of the case or order cakes that don't express views against his own. I would hate to be the judges in these cases.
In the case of icarusfall there were behavioural triggers leading to the ejection of a patron. I think as long as it's not perceived to be discriminatory a business owner can kick whoever they want out.
