Plus that's about something static like race which has federal protections while lifestyles do not, outside religious conviction.They researched FW Woolworth's and knew that the corporation wouldn't disobey state law to serve them.
The lunch counter protests were carefully orchestrated, and it would have really put a crimp in a protest if the Woolworth manager would have ordered them served as they weren't hungry and probably didn't bring any money, and it was the age before "cards".
But there were differences, the lunch counter protesters weren't seeking to destroy Woolworth, and deliberately picked a large corporation because they didn't want to destroy the life of a small retailer.
