I think once you start defining your religious liberty as a right to tell other people how live their lives and a right to only associate with people of the same religious practices, you turn the idea of individual liberty on its head.  If you want personal freedom, you need to accept the exercise of personal freedom from other people. 
This is all true, but it goes both ways. People shouldn't be able to tell homophobic businessmen how to live their lives anymore than they should be able to tell gays how to live theirs'.

I don't see any problem here. An university has no business regulating personal life of their students. If it was a divinity school, I could understand, but not a law school.

And what business is it of the law societies what personal code of conduct a law school may require of its students?  How does that code of conduct make those students unfit to be lawyers?

That's discrimination by a private organization, not the government.  It's not relevant to the point at hand here.
How is it not? Isn't the argument about whether private businesses should be legally allowed to discriminate against gays?

Denial of service is not an "imposition" of anything.

Personal freedom includes the right to control of one's own private property (in this case, one's own business). Besides, no one has the "personal freedom" to force others to serve them.
