> If it were a protected group like LGBTQ

That's not a protected class. In some (a minority) states, sexual orientation is. Gender identity is in some also, but not the same set.

Outside of a major urban area, that's far from clear. OTOH, there are many domain registrars and web hosts, and they tend not to have very limited geographic service areas. I definitely have more viable choices for either of those than I would for a wedding cake baker.

> With the internet controlled by a small group of companies in a particular region

This is absolutely not the case, especially for domain registration or web hosting.
