How do you personally feel about what lies in the middle?
Examples:
-Refusing to make a cake for a Jewish circumcision ceremony.
-Refusing to make a cake for a pro life or pro choice fundraiser.
-Refusing to make a cake for a Catholic infant baptism.
-Refusing to make a cake for a campaign fundraiser for a political candidate you oppose.
Again, this is all assuming the cakes are generic and the Baker only knows because the information was voluntarily relayed to him by the customer without him asking.
Jews (in matters pertaining to them being a Jew) are a protected class in every state.
Fundraisers for political causes are not protected in any state.
Catholics (in matters pertaining to them being a Catholic) are a protected class in every state.
Fundraisers for political causes are not protected in any state.

A man goes into the store on his own and requests a wedding cake. The baker also has a delivery service and agrees to bring it to the venue. When the baker arrives with the cake, he realizes that it is a same-sex wedding. Is the baker within his rights to refuse to deliver the cake and refund the couple’s money?
It'd be super shitty, but legally I think he should have the right to do that, yeah.
And just so everyone knows I'm being completely objective here, I'd say the same thing if the scenario was a Catholic baptism or something.
I think it would be reasonable to sue someone who did that for deliberately ruining your event at the last minute.

That falls under 'legal, but not okay'.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
