You are confusing corporations with people. A corporation is an entity made of hundreds, if not thousands of people, all with different beliefs. One man's belief chould not be able to affect the private lives of everyone elses' beliefs, no matter how high up they are.
And your idea of "choice" in employment is laughable. Skilled workers needs skilled jobs. If there is only one major chemical plant in a town, can the chemists that live there choose to work somewhere else?

I could be wrong but i believe the supreme court ruled a few years back, that a corporation essentially is a person (since its made up of you know people) so they have all the same rights that a person should have. Why would a corporation, composed of people, suddenly not have the same rights as all those people with in the corporation?

No, you're right, and as stupid as that decision was, the SCOTUS did rule that way. However, the problem with that, and virtually all other circumstances of it now. The 'people' who comprise a corporation aren't actually able to speak. It's one or a handful of the most powerful individuals at that corporation. Legally, shouldn't they have to survey their entire staff/shareholders, no matter how large, to get every person's opinion on a matter? I mean, if corporations are people...meaning plural, people have different opinions/beliefs etc... I think you'd be hard pressed to find two individuals (let alone several thousand) with exactly the same set of opinions/beliefs on everything.
