Maybe, but I would rather live in a society that has full respect for people than full respect for private property.

Unfortunately you can't make everyone have respect for one another. If you force them via laws, that would probably just make them more resentful.

That is completely true, indeed the purpose of the law ought to be not to compel respect, but to allow vulnerable individuals access to society.

The intended outcome is not that people that want to discriminate stop existing (well, long term also...) but that non-discriminatory interactions can be allowed to flourish.

Forcing everyone to act as if they have respect for one another is good enough. They can resent it all they want, for all I care.
