This is an extreme example, but the way I see it is, if I owned my own bakery and someone came in and asked me to make a cake with a swastika on it and write "White Supremacy" on it, for some sort of rally they were having, I would absolutely refuse. And I would hope I wouldn't be legally forced by the government to do it.
I'm willing to discuss this and have my mind changed, though, if someone brings up a good point.
Of course you would refuse, ones about the right to oppress and degrade, and the other a loathed symbol of oppression after the Nazis used it.
A birthday cake is about celebrating someone's individuality, life and freedom.
