It's the difference between refusing service because of an inherent aspect of someone (like their sexual orientation) and refusing service because someone is choosing to actively broadcast their highly inflammatory opinions.
The cake shop never refused service to anyone because of an inherent aspect of anyone (how would they know?).
They'd happily bake a birthday/retirement/graduation cake for a gay person.
They refused to use their own artistic talents to inscribe a message that they disagreed with. They refused to participate in the words, not the people.
Kind of like you might refuse to make a MAGA cake.
You know the baker didn’t refuse service and was happy to sell them an already made cake, he just didn’t want to make a cake with a gay couple on it, right? Are you really saying the multiple lawsuits weren't ridiculous?
