That’s what’s known as a straw man. This isn’t about denying services to homosexuals which are afforded to normal people. This is about forcing Christians to affirm a practice, and engage in celebrating a practice, which violates the Christians’ personally held religious faith.

More of a conumdrum.

But in doing so they are denying services to homosexuals based on their sexual orientation. This is a no win situation. Forcing the baker to abide by the law in their view violates their religious beliefs. Allowing the baker to follow their faith as they see it violates the anti-discrimination laws. One side or the other are going to consider their rights violated.
