Should a gay baker be required by law to design a cake with the message, “God hates fags”? Should an African American t-shirt maker be required by law to design a t-shirt saying, “Long live the KKK?”

Homophobes and the Klan are not protected classes.

Should a Muslim caterer be required by law to provide pork for a secular event?

If they do not provide pork to anyone else under any circumstances then they can't be compelled to provide it to a secular event.

Should a Jewish photographer be required to shoot a wedding on the Sabbath?

If they don't do any other work on the Sabbath then no.

The answer to all these questions is: Of course not. Why, then, should a Christian baker be required by law to design a cake celebrating the “wedding” of two women (or men)?

Because denying services based on sexual orientation is a crime in Colorado. Change the law.

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.

I am truly not surprised to find you opposing natural law rights such as those articulated in our bill of rights. Forced association is a denial of "freedom of association."
