"What is important is that, absent a compelling state interest, he should be left to decide whom he wants as a client."

I have never argued otherwise.

I would. I have.

This was what the whole civil rights movement in the South was about. Should owners of diners be left to decide whether or not they wanted to serve black patrons. Should motel owners be left to decide whether or no they wanted to serve black patrons. Should a bus company have the right to decide that it only wants white patrons in the front seats of its busses. This is precisely what all the civil rights movement was about. That companies do NOT have the right to decide who they will and will not serve based on the person's race or gender.
