Protecting other people's freedom of association and religious rights, even if they use those rights to discriminate against people by sexual orientation, is not itself discrimination by sexual orientation. To put it another way, the law doesn't discriminate (in the sense your using the term, its actually rather broader than that), people protected by the law might. Personally I think freedom of association and contract should get more legal protection, even if the association is used to discriminate in ways that many would see as unjust. Want to deny federal money to those you see as bigots, want to not do business with them, even organized protests and boycotts? Fine. But that isn't the same as using force against them.
