      Is it illegal to lie? They are not trying to steal money. Yes they’re misrepresenting themselves on purpose but is it illegal? I have no clue.

        Presumably they see it as somehow affecting their bottom line? Guess it could just be outright bigotry though.

        Lying for personal gain is fraud still, though not criminal.

        Customers can decide if they want to conduct business with the business after the fact. I know I wouldn’t want to.
