I know that is what the brain washing says.

What about a business that says no to gay wedding cakes?

They can’t do that.

Ditto with guns.

Actually, they can. That’s the point.

Thing is, on your own property, you have the right to have your own rules. And if someone doesn’t want to abide by them, they are free to leave. Only if you prevent them from leaving are you violating their rights.

And that includes situations where your property is open to the public. If that is NOT the case, it means you are giving up your constitutional rights to do business with the public on your own property in order to make your living. That, obviously, is also unconstitutional, though activists on the court have much weakened that.
