Yes, we definitely agree on that last point. A horrible effect of this is that haters are misusing it and will have to be slapped down again.
American law has been largely treating symbols and words equivalently, which has had some salutatory effects - protecting flag burning and Piss Christ, just to name two.

But that's the point of the public accommodation rule. I think you should serve them equally to others, regardless of your belief. I think that the two sentences are equivalently protected, even though one is a more direct statement than the other.
