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.
That's the difference.
You're not supporting "Hitler".
How is that relational to a baker refusing a cake for a gay couple?
Are you stating with what you have posted that the both are comparable?
That's the thing though. It doesn't matter what the cause is. As far as the law is concerned, either a Baker is allowed to refuse to bake a cake for an event he is morally opposed to, or he isn't.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
