4815 Since non-mothers are not a group protected by the Unruh Act, giving Mothers Day gifts to women over the age of 18 attending a ball game because of the logistical difficulty of determining which of them are mothers did not intentionally discriminate against men, and therefore did not violate their rights under the Act; the Unruh Act is not aimed at gift-giving, so long as the selection of who receives the gifts is not based on invidious discrimination.CitationCOHN v CORINTHIAN (Mothers Day) 169 CA4 523 [See: CivC 51, 52; Pizarro v Lamb's Players 135 CA4 1171, T/AT 2/06; Harris v Capital 52 C3 1142]
