This cakes for other sins is nonsense. It isn’t about not serving gay people. It is about serving them a particular cake for celebrations the bakery does not wish to participate in. I would think it is the baker’s right to turn down a cake for a porn shop’s 20th anniversary celebration just the same. or a Free Mumia cake. Does anyone buy a cake for divorce celebrations?

I'm not disagreeing with you. The various business owners made it clear they were not refusing to serve gays altogether, but only in the narrow context of gay marriage ceremonies. What if a liberal baker was asked to bake a cake for a wedding that he knew was basically an arranged Muslim marriage that the bride was being forced in to. Couldn't he refuse to bake a cake under those circumstances? Or would that be called religious discrimination?
