So bad laws only get passed because the people affected by them didn't fight hard enough "in the first place."

That is a bit of an oversimplification, but in my expience has often been the case.

And once the bad law is passed those people should just roll over and die?

Not at all, fight to get the entire thing overturned, not force it upon others.

In this Ohio case I believe the bar owners who sued made a tactical error somewhere along the line.

If the "others" are benefitting from the discriminatory law, they will fight your fixing it.

Force them into the net, too, and they will have no choice except to join forces with you in fighting it.
