Where does that denial of services stop? It was once ok to deny blacks service, or force them to sit at the back of the bus.
The standard in denial of service is that it has to be universal and not discriminatory.
In other words you can kick someone out for being abusive to your employee. But you cannot deny service based on race or religion or gender, so I don't see why LGBT should not be given the same protections.
And even outside the issue of race, gender, religion, our nation has gotten away from valuing workers. It is far too easy for a business owner to treat workers like poker chips because of "right to work" states, which have since Reagan, eroded the middle class and given far too much power to billionaires.
