The church is going to have a dance. The nun’s have a special group of people who kiss there *** if you know what I mean. My 16 year old sister is having problems with one of the girls and the nun’s told that girl to tell every one if my sister show up, they are not going to let her in, only her family but no her. If that happened what do I need to do that is call discrimination is in. Can we sue them for this. We all have the same right to get in if we pay, they can’t chose who they like better and who they like less.

Nope. I don't believe your friend has any constitutional right to attend all private dances. Also, by definition, discrimination is against a category of people. What you just described was to an individual not being very well liked.

Sorry, your understanding of the law is incorrect. A business (and the church is treated as a business in this case) has the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason. They are not required to admit you.
It would only be discrimination if they were refusing you entrance because you were a member of a protected group (and churches have some additional leeway here)

Generally, laws governing discrimination apply to governmental and state run organizations, such as state univeristies and public schools. Discrimination laws do not usually apply to private organizations. Churches are private organizations and have the right to include or exclude people from their functions. So suing is not an avenue to correct this wrong. I would conact the head nun or priest and bring this matter to their attention.

If it is a private dance on private property, the church can exclude anyone they want.
However, it does not appear that there is any discrimination in this case, i.e. exclusion because of race, creed, religion, sex, age or sexual orientation; the nuns just don't want your sister to come to the party because they feel her presence would cause problems.

"Refuse the right to deny anyone"
Sounds like a bad situation but what are these "problems". If she did something in any kind of harmful way towards that person, then she is probably out of luck. Hence reason.

Please elaborate more about why your sister can't get along with whoever those girls are. What happened?
And if it really was something stupid, then go defend her. Seeing how you claim this special (ed) group are bu*ghole kissers, that could be a good reason for you to sue them but it wouldn't be enough.[your details isn't sufficiently clear, so you can't guarantee a specific answer.]

No, as a church (or any private citizen or organization for that matter) they have the right to allow who they want to come in or not. Same as bars, restaurants and your house for that matter.

If it is a restaurant or a club, they have the right to refuse service to anyone.
