should an escort have the right to refuse any client

[FetishCherry]

I will always support the escorts prerogative to refuse any client , some are conflating this with discrimination .
What is your view ?.

If u will not have this right to refuse ,then u will not be independent = a free person,owner of your body and of your human rights

Yes they have the right to refuse a client and it may or may not be discrimination depending on the reason for refusing.

Refusing a client based on race and therein characteristics being ascribed to an individual based on their race is discrimination clearly.

But escorts still have the right to refuse anyone, why ? Cos escorts have rights too..... like the right to bodily integrity and if there is a hierarchy of human rights (which is debatable itself) this right would most probably be higher than the right not to be discriminated against.

John Dunne...need I say more

Btw, he's out, so lock up your daughters!

Of course they should be able to refuse anyone.

And the last thing I would want to do would be to 'spend time' with someone who would have that choice removed as I'm sure it would be a poor experience for both parties.

There's only one John...I just think he's a good reason why escorts have the right to choose who to see!

Someone raised the example of a bar being able to choose who they serve but obviously it is an offence for them to refuse solely on the basis of race, nationality etc. However, it's not really a valid comparison. Firstly an escort does not have protection under the law so it's not reasonable to extend legal provision around the provision of services to them. Secondly, the nature of the service being provided is such that it comes into conflict with other legal provisions around consent. Thirdly, and most importantly, it's a very intimate service and that in itself would be enough to merit an exemption from the need to provide any reasons for refusal.
