If it had messages against interracial or gay marriages on it, then yes, I would object.
If i own an ice cream shop and a Christian or Muslim or Jew buys a waffle cone of 3 scoops on it, and thanks a god they got a cold treat on a hot day, all I would do is take their money, then when they turn away from me and roll my eyes.
But if you order cake or ice cream and you want to put a bigoted message in your order, yea, I will tell you to fuck off.
Hey I agree but it's the supreme court that calls baking cakes an art. So on what exactly do they based it on I don't know.
If you're a poet and an atheist and someone orders from you a song about how great Allah is, it is much different emotional and intellectual task than baking a cake from an already made design that you already made hundred times before.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
