Christians aren't a protected group. The argument can be made that the item ordered was political in origin, and denying service is a freedom of speech issue. The return from gays would be that they just wanted a normal wedding cake, like would be at any other wedding, for their shacking up ceremony.
In short, the business denied the content, which is permissible under the law, as it was done without regards to the person making the order.
If a gay wedding cake maker denied a standard wedding cake to a Christian, you'd probably have at least a minimal case. In relation to this story? None at all.
All that said, I think ANYONE should be able to deny service to ANYONE for absolutely no stated reason at all. I do not have to defend turning down business in the slightest. I make the decisions as to whom I work for. Not the government. And that's really what needs to be fixed.
Good points.

AMEN!
