This all seems simple when we talk about driving, but somehow a fringe set of rightwing conservatives want us all to believe that hapless business owners are somehow being forced, against their will, to serve pizza to gay people.

Yes. Because driving is a privilege, not a right. It is not covered in the constitution other than how the existing protected rights are covered (e.g. you can’t be refused a license because you are black).

I disagree with you on this. Driving is indeed a right. The right to use the public ways goes back to Roman times.

"The right of the citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon, either by carriage or by automobile, is not a mere privilege which a city may prohibit or permit at will, but a common right which he has under the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."- Thompson v Smith 154 SE 579.
