Since the very very beginning my son when god chose a special people and chose a special tribe within that people to be priests. Not to mention the god's laws about women, those of other religions, bastards, etc. Gays are just the tip of the Christianity discrimination iceberg.

This idea isn't novel to this case though, there have been plenty of cases (like the wedding cakes and apartments that you mentioned) in which people have been forced to do something against their religion. I'm not sure what's so special about this ceremony, because I can guarantee the wedding cake people were just as vehement about their faith as this wedding ceremony business. They'd have a case about as powerful as the wedding cake people, because they're selling a product. Could they worm their way into an exception? Maybe.
I know you didn't bring up the RFRA, but that is what the Knapps are suing under. Worked for Hobby Lobby much to my disgust.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
