"Christian" Skating Time

[Prenkert, Jamie D]

Would a special "Christmas Skate" or an "Easter Skate" sponsored by the
skating rink be permissible under the NY Human Rights Law (or similar
laws), if the interpretation of the statute by the NY Div. of Human
Rights in the Skate Time 209 situation is correct?  

Could the skating rink be named "Holy Rollin'" and play only gospel
music and Christian rock?

(Under each, I assume that the owners of the establishment admit any and
all who wish to skate (if they show up), regardless of religion.)
