The plaintiffs wanted a custom wedding cake design that celebrated their gay wedding. The defendant wanted to abide by his religious belief that homosexuality is sinful.
The questions that the court should answer are these: Would the gay couple suffer harm by obtaining their cake elsewhere from a baker willing to provide it? The answer is no.
Would a baker who is forced to make a cake for a ceremony that violates his religious beliefs be harmed by doing so? The answer is yes.
There are numerous sources for wedding cakes. But an individual only has one conscience and there is no available substitute.
If I do yard work and the Church of Satan wants me to do theirs am I obliged to do so?
Then we are wage slaves not free citizens and it is time to cut the ties that binds and gag.
