Can I be Banned from my girlfriend’s workplace for no reason?
I am not allowed to drop my girlfriend off at work; I am banned from her store for no reason. Her manager has a personal problem with me and I can’t even go in the store to buy anything or be on the property to drop her off. We are a gay couple.

Yes, you may be banned from her workplace because the manager has a personal problem with you: even an otherwise public store has the right to ban individuals whom a manager feels (even without proof) are disruptive or detrimental in some way, such as friend or girlfriend of an employee. There are states where it would be illegal to ban a person if one of the reasons for the ban is sexual orientation, but, unfortunately, your state is not one of them, so the manager may ban you.
