Customization of edibles such as cakes are considered an art form. Art forms for the most part are protected by the first amendment be it free speech or religious affiliation. The guy didn’t outright say “I hate gays” as a basis for not wanting to bake the cake for them or the SCOTUS would have ruled differently. He argued that because his art form is religious based that he should not be forced to betray his faith. If anything he was kind enough to refer them to other bakers who could do the job for him. This isn’t some looney handing out marriage certificates or drugs, but these people didn’t care about that. They only saw an easy pay day and instead lost the case and set a new precedent. Congrats! You just played yourselves!
