I’m a bit confused on how this actually started. Did they refuse to provide the cake on the grounds that the customers were lesbians, or because the customers wanted the cake customized in a particular way that would have comprised a statement regarding lesbianism? In my worldview you can refuse to bake a lesbian cake, but you can’t refuse to bake a lesbian a cake.

The Latter. They wanted the Cake designed in such a way tht it CELEBRATES a homosexual marriage.
“The order for the wedding cake depicted two lesbians; therefore, creating such a cake conflicted with the Cakeshop owner’s religious beliefs about marriage.”
Yes, the couple could have bought any standard cake in the store but wanted a customization with a same-sex couple depicted on top.
It was to be a customized cake. They offered to sell them a cake and let them decorate it themselves.
