It's not like they're actively protecting the business they're just not forcing the private business to do anything in particular.
They are when the make laws that say that no city or municipality in a state can make a law providing protection in employment, housing, or public space use for transgender individuals. That is an active protection of businesses over people.
To your point, in the 50's and 60's, when the government forced white business owners to allow black people in their place of business, was that a bad thing? How about protections for employment, housing, or public space use for black people?
When a interracial couple got kicked out of their homes by a racist white man in Mississippi recently because he didn't know until after they moved in that the woman's husband was black, should he have the right to kick paying tenants who passed the background checks/credit checks required to live in his rental because he think white people should marry black people?

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
