SCOTUS didn’t think Colorado gave him a fair trial, which is why the decision was 7-2 and not 5-4. Their decision actually had little to do with gay rights or selling a cake, it seems:

No.  It was answered.  Right in the article.


Quote:Kennedy acknowledged that business owners generally cannot deny equal access to goods and services under a neutral public accommodations law. Otherwise, he said, "a long list of persons who provide goods and services for marriages and weddings might refuse to do so for gay persons, thus resulting in a community-wide stigma inconsistent with the history and dynamics of civil rights laws."

Where states have enacted anti-discrimination laws they can be enforced.  The problem is all the redneck, jesus-freak, asshole, deplorable states which would rather amputate their own balls with a broken bottle than pass anti-discrimination laws.
