So you are changing the subject to affirmative action? argument clinic guy ?
No. The point is that I don't really think most Americans agree that we should treat everyone the same way. Most Americans will
say that they think we should treat everyone the same way, but in practice they support lots of things that undermine the credibility of the statement.
Tying back in to the question of the responsibility of businesses to serve clients, I would personally say the only clearly-delineated way of handling things is to require all people to be served until they disqualify themselves by their own actions within the place of business. That means you have to serve the gay, trans, safe spacers, anti-vaxxers, and even white supremacists. However, if any of those groups do things outside the normal bounds of society to make your other customers/potential customers uncomfortable, you could give them the boot. That's where I think protected categories should come into play. You can't boot people for kissing while being, say, interracial or same-sex if you don't do the same for single-race heterosexual couples. But I'd protect absolutely everything when it comes to getting in the door.
