Should a business - open to the public - be allowed to put a “No gays served” sign out front? How about “No blacks served”?

He wasn't refusing to serve anyone– he admits he would sell them donuts or anything in his business.

He was refusing to promote ideas he disagreed with.

Should he have to make a Nazi cake flag, if someone requests it? How about depicting bestiality, child porn, or nudity?

I say no...

The baker told the “couple” that he would sell them anything in the shop - but he would not CREATE a cake clelbrating gay marriage.

FYI - he also refuses to make Halloween cakes.

Good questions. I’d draw the line on a depiction of violence, or of an illegal activity. But others would differ. What a mess. That’s why I’d take the coward’s way out, and go fishing instead.

I’m very comfortable with where you draw your lines.

Very good point.

I have seen cakes of dildos or men’s [or women’s] sexual organs. I. wouldn’t want to make those.

“He wasn’t refusing to serve anyone– he admits he would sell them donuts or anything in his business. “

Or the same cake without the re-definition of ‘marriage’ on it.
