Thats not totally correct. Legal tender and forced tender are separate. Legal tender status woukd allow you to pay taxes or outstanding debts in bitcoin, but on the other hand there is nothing illegal about accepting coffee beans for painting someones house right now, but you arent required to accept them.
Forcing someone to accept a specific currency (that lets say they dont want) sounds like authoritarianism to me.
