I have a bunch of different thoughts:
1. I'm all for businesses serving or not serving whomever they want because I'm all for customers shopping wherever they want. I have no doubt the free market would take care of it, and the vocal and practicing bigots (OP) of the world would be forced to clean up their acts or pack it in due to lack of business. BUT:
2. We have anti-discrimination laws in the US. The law is what comes first, so, no omnom: you have no right to refuse service to a gay couple getting married, and the laws will take care of it.
3. Omnom, what if a man walked into your shop by himself and ordered a wedding cake? How would you know whether he was gay or straight? Are you going to refuse him service because he's possibly gay? Are you going to ask him about his sexual orientation?
