Let people be bigots and you can know where and who they are, they expose themselves. Forcing bigots to be less bigots is just one way to create division in society and worsen the situation. If a shop refused to serve me for whatever reason, I don't think I should have the right to sue them, but rest assured I wouldn't step inside or buy anything from the same company ever again.
The problem with an idea like this is it allows for oppression by the majority. Imagine you are a gay person living in a city dominated by Christian business owners with no anti discrimination laws, suddenly you cant buy groceries, get a job, or rent an apartment. We might as well go back to segregated society at that point, large majority groups could essentially force out minority groups.
