The first amendment’s protections for the right to peacefully assemble (for the purpose of business) also include the right to NOT assemble. Therefore any law, regardless of so called “public access” or “public accommodation” that REQUIRES a private business to offer services to those which it does not want to do business with is unconstitutional.

That is more an argument about protesting the government. The current debate should be about our 1st Amendment right to Freedom of Association. I should be able to choose with whom I associate and/or do business.

That is of course correct.

Unfortunately out of fear, we gave up that argument a long time ago.
