How is refusing to make a dress for Mrs. Trump different?

This is cut and dry to me.

If you can’t make a black baker make a KKK cake, you can’t make a religious baker make a sodomite cake.

The Framers’ Article III courts might rule that their Constitution demands the baking of special cakes for fags?

Yeah. Gone.
