Civil rights have nothing to do with whether or not any given person or couple has talent. The baker is operating a business constrained by law, and that was his choice.
I, too, would love to opt out of laws I don;t like...but........I baked my cake, so now I have to eat it.
Let's address this another way. -Every- business owner constructs both their business and their product out of their own skill. If this is a credible justification for discrimination (if there even is such a thing)...then it;s a credible reason for -everyone- to discriminate -everywhere- in -every- business.
Why..then, even have discrimination laws?
Even more disturbingly, the same laws we have that extend protections must by needs, then, extend this protection against discrimination law to everyone. The 5th and the 14th and the civil rights act..themselves..are effectively transformed into the tools of civil and institutional discrimination. Wingnut fever dream shit, right there.
