“The provider of goods, products, or services may not deny or condition them to the consumer for reasons of gender, nationality, ethnicity, sexual preference, religious or any other particularity. Paragraph added. “

As well as the State Law to Eliminate Discrimination of the State of Sinaloa in its Article 5 in its paragraphs XXIV and XXV with clear in this regard:

XXIV: Prevent access to any public or private service, as well as limit access and free movement in public spaces, for reasons of ethnic or social origin, nationality, genetic characteristics, disability, social or economic condition, health conditions, pregnancy, language, opinions, sexual orientation, gender, marital status, age, physical appearance, occupation or activity, criminal record or any other assumption;

XXV: Deny any person, considering their sexual orientation, accommodation, or the same accommodation conditions in any public place intended for the accommodation of people, hotels, motels, or in any other public place, including amusement or recreation centers;
