Can this ruling be applied to small businesses who operate based on their religious convictions?

I’m thinking of bakers who refuse to create wedding cakes for gay marriages.

In theory, it does. It would require a court to find that the government has a compelling interest in homosexual wedding cakes, and that the least restrictive way to achieve that goal is requiring religious bakers to bake them.

Now, will lower courts pay attention? I doubt it.
