what if the only gas station for 40 miles is owned by a redneck who doesn't want to do business with the homosexual couple who inexplicably chose Mississippi to be their home? What if the only Subaru dealer in Jackson refuses to service Outbacks owned by lesbians?
What if I live in a small town and the only car mechanic in town doesn't like my family and refuses to take my business?
What if a the owner of a maid service hates cats and decided that she does not want to clean any homes with cats. Should The government tell her that she has to clean homes with cats?
When the government starts telling private individuals who they must conduct business with, it's a problem.

As opposed to the government telling private individuals they are not afforded the same rights as everyone else and can be denied service for an arbitrary reason?

If you simply don't like someone because they're a dick to you, you can refuse them. If you don't like someone because their skin is a different color, you can't refuse them. The intent is to protect people from wanton discrimination.
