Well, as far as I understand it, business owners, bakers or photographers have every right to be bigots. If they're ruining their business in the process, it's also their business.
Clerks and judges on the other hand are in a bit of a predicament. Obeying the law kind of comes with the job description. If that interfers with their dearly held religious believes, tough. Time to move on and find another job.
