Okay, auggie, let's see if you agree with this:
An auto business operated by gay people is selling their cars at a $5,000 discount to fellow gays. You've been shopping for the very car they're selling for a long time because you think it's the perfect vehicle.
You come to terms with the salesman and then he asks, "Are you gay? I'm asking because our company gives an additional $5,000 off to gay people."
You say, "Hell no, I'm not gay but I want the discount."
Salesman says, "Sorry."
Is this acceptable discrimination to you?
I know you weren't asking me, but I'm gonna answer.
Yes, that is acceptable, they made a choice to turn down my business by selective price gouging. And like a reasonable human being, I will take my business elsewhere and inform everyone of their bigotry.

Taking your business elsewhere isn't always possible, especially not at the same price or opportunity cost. If you're widely discriminating for any reason, you are destroying free markets. This caveat of "take my business elsewhere" isn't a real world option every single time. Not every business operates like a Starbucks. How do you not get this.
