More details to this question:
I was kicked out of Hollister after my friend was talking so one of the people that worked there and said that another person that works there was Cute and I went to a different store then came back to pick up. My friend because he was still there and he said nothing to the person he was referring to and had no contact whatsoever and then the manager came over and kicked us out because the guy fell uncomfortable around gay people.

Actually, I believe that most states have laws against such behavior. You could get a lawyer who is experienced in such things and sue.

A private store and store owner can ask anyone to leave the premises for any reason. However, if you were terribly upset and suffered harassment as a result of this, you may have a case for infliction of emotional distress. You should seek the advice of an attorney and fully discuss this with him or her.

You should file a claim with the human rights commission.

I don't know how to help you. if the manager or owner of a place asks you to leave best thing is to leave. You wouldn't be asked to leave for no reason. There is more here than you have told me or more than you know.
