> Should we not have the freedom of choosing with whom we would like to associate?
So, do you believe that a business should not be forced to serve racial minorities? How about the gay wedding cake situation, should a baker be forced to make a cake for a gay couple? Should I be able to refuse to hire trans people?
If you're not sure about those, then you don't believe in free association as a rule. I'm not saying anything about you personally, but most people only want to involve free association in the cases where it means they get to refuse people they don't like.
You seem to be arguing that those conspiring with criminal intent ought to receive protection from discrimination in the same way we wish to protect people from discrimination based on race, gender, age, religion, political affiliation etc.
