Not necessarily...
That may fall in line with your first example, as if county clerks provide marriage certificates to straight couples, then yes it would be discrimination to homosexuals for them to not also provide one to them. But, the other two examples are of businesses that have decided not to provide a particular service to anyone. Not just homosexuals. Businesses should have the right to withhold their own services, but not be inclusive and exclusive to who they offer them to based off of race, color, gender, creed, or sex.
