So you're repeal part or all of the CRA as well, especially Title II. Whites Only, etc.? Maybe it's just gays who shouldn't have any protection from discrimination?
Eventually, I would repeal any prohibition on the right of private association by individuals or groups - and keep clauses relevant to prohibition of government discrimination.. However, I would start with repealing the most onerous prohibitions. Initially I would:
Step One: Recognize that Constitutionally and historically the justification for 'equal protection' (at best) applies on to matters of race (or perhaps national origin). That was the intent of the 14th amendment. It did not apply to protection of other catagories.
Step Two: Protect the right of any privately owned or closely held corporation to refrain from acting in any manner to express support for any social, cultural, or personal opinion or practice should they choose.
Step Three: Protect the right of any privately owned or closely held corporation to hire, trade, sell to, or terminate whomever they please (unless they have a contract).
