An article in The Atlantic says "Being required to serve those we dislike is a painful price to pay for the privilege of running a business; but the pain exclusion inflicts on its victims, and on society, are far worse than the discomfort the faithful may suffer at having to open their businesses to all."

What about the sex offenders who aren't allowed to live anywhere near a school, child care facility, etc.? What about their feelings of exclusion? What about their exclusion, in many cases, from being allowed to use social media? What about their exclusion, in many cases, from being around their own children?
