In the case of the Baker who makes wedding cakes, they simply asked for a service that he provides and they were denied specifically for the sexual preference, which as far as I know has nothing to do with baking.
And I wouldn't fly a pro-life banner. I flew banners for other people, but I wouldn't fly one for them. And it had nothing to with airplanes or banners. Should there be a law forcing me to advertising that I don't want to fly?
No, not advertising someones opinion is not covered under anti-discrimination laws. Now if you decided to fly that banner for a heterosexual and refused to fly that banner for a homosexual then that would be discrimination.

That should be the baker's choice. It not a choice I would personally support. But I believe its a choice a providers of non-essential services should have the right to make. We're not talking about housing or health care here. We're talking about cake. No one needs cake ever.
