I don't think the owners were denying gays other services in their bakery, they just had a problem with being forced to recognize gay weddings, against their religious convictions, by baking the lesbian couple a wedding cake. This is playing out exactly the way people of faith feared it would.
Bullshit! They refused to bake a cake for a couple because they where gay, who cares what the occasion was for. Their business is baking cakes, its not to tell people what marriages they think should be recognized. Would you be ok if they refused to bake a cake for an interracial marriage?
This does not violate religious freedom in any way shape or form, you cannot use your religion to violate somebody else's civil rights, that is not religious freedom.
