A baker could presumably refuse to sell any cake at all to a nazi who says they are going to take it to a rally. It's not a protected class.
Also, this cake doesn't have a message or symbol on it. It's two different colours. The baker is objecting to what the cake means specifically to the person buying it, because he thinks they are a liar on religious grounds to call themselves transgender.
I wonder if he could get out of this on a technicality here, because his reasoning is that he won't bake the cake because transgender people don't exist, not because the person happens to also be transgender. It doesn't make any sense as a reason not to bake a cake, but I suppose it doesn't have to.
