Privately owned businesses absolutely do not have the right to pick and choose their clients when they operate within the public sector, all they can choose is what services they provide. Even your example of "ladies night" does not cut the mustard as the club/pub/bar does not deny service to men, in merely offers a discount for women. How would you like it if everywhere you went you were denied service because you were gay?
These "service laws" as they are written allow anyone to discriminate based -not on you being gay-, but that you -could be gay-.
I see you walk up for petrol?
You gay, can't serve you.
Food?
You gay.
Beers?
You gay trying to corrupt people to your gayness
A loan?
You gay.
I can deny you -anything- in this world based on the argument that "you gay", and that's NOT a slippery slope argument, that is based on the wording of anti-gay legislation, it already exists in some states. Best yet, I don't have to prove you are gay, I just have to -think- you are gay to deny you service. It's not that someone else won't care about you being gay annoyed and serve you, it's just that you being gay should not matter.
