Yes, but the key difference is that people who don't want to discriminate are not mandated by law to discrimate, as they were before the Civil's Rights act. The provision in said act to make private businesses open to every race/gender/etc was meant as a correction for the state priorly skewing the market by forcing everyone to discriminate, whether they wanted to or not. It might've made sense, like affirmative action, in that era, but it doesn't make much sense today. Forcing the racists, homophobes, etc to act a certain way just increases their resentment and forces them to hide their true feelings. I'd rather know what these people honestly think, and know who is the homophobe or racist, so that I can avoid them and also so that I don't act as a patron to their business and benefit them. I don't want to associate with such people, and such legislation makes it harder for me to identify them.

Despite this eroding things on a constitutional level I guess you're right. The bigots should be like Chic-Fil-A and just let everyone know so they know to stay away. Making this into a state law is just asking to unearth a lot of hell. Once again...religion always pushing back society.

No, hes not right. If you absolutely must discriminate there are smart ways to go about it. It certainly shouldn't be endorsed by law. This will just lead to social unrest.
