Here's a thought experiment:
Take your mother(replace with someone in your life you deeply personally respect if you don't have a good relionship with your mother). She goes into a store selects something to buy. The shopkeeper says "We don't serve your kind here". Acceptable?
So churches don't even have to do same sex marriage. You know that. So why bring it up?
The KKK were denied the right to do public assembly on property in my area on the basis the local businesses didn't want them around or their hate speech. They also were refused service when they ignored it and showed up anyway. Like I said, maybe I'm being hopelessly naive that if you can guarantee rights for the worst of people, you can guarantee rights for the best.
I'm not blind to the fact that usually this results in the worst getting all the traction then immediately finding ways to weasal out of letting the same protections to apply to others.
While I don't support unlimited states rights is because the government used this "freedom" to segregate races when the Federal government was needed to protect the right of blacks to have access to equal material support in the public--which the state governments denied on basis of the local (white) majority.
