For conscientious objector legal status, the claim would need to clearly resonate with people and represent an ideal higher that the general cultural ideal. Your ideal, while I understand it, is not one that would be widely regarded as higher than our cultural ideal of non-discrimination, I don't think.

I would consider it not just a matter of freedom of conscience but also freedom of association, and I would consider that combination to be more important then non-discrimination as long as it isn't an act of government. (I find equality under the law to be far more important in principle then equal treatment by non governmental organizations or individuals.)
