"Once something is defined as a right, a hue and cry soon goes up to prohibit "discrimination" against its practitioners. Why should people be "discriminated" against for exercising their rights? Or so the argument goes."
You may be correct. However, saying someone has a right to do something SHOULD not equate to being compelled to accept that behavior as the norm. Just as with the homosexuals, one may not prohibit their perversity; however, there is no requirement to condone or accept it. Or SHOULD BE NO requirement. "Freedom of association" also means freedom to NOT associate, if desired.
