This isn't saying that I agree with that decision."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

In a public venue, everyone pays therefore everyone is entitled to equal access. The Court long since ruled that a public venue can't bar religious ads/content/use if it is accepting secular ones.
It's a little murkier in the private venues - there are certain things you cannot discriminate against if you are open to the public. But conversely, being open to the public does not mean you are obligated to represent views foreign to your own. Ad agencies have every right to turn down porn clients, for example.
The CRA was misused, in my opinion, to support the anti-discrimination to the point of violating the First Amendment itself. It was never intended to survive perpetually and is already being dismantled - but the sooner the CRA goes now, the better."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot
