The first one, no, the second one, yes. A business isn't required to do anything a client wants. If the gay baker refused the client because he was a Christian and was against gay marriage, then he should be held accountable just the same as the baker in the OP. If a KKK member chose to patronize a black photographer, and he didn't feel that his personal safety was compromised, then yes, he shouldn't be able to refuse his services based on the prospective client's political beliefs. But, if I were asked to do anything for a KKK member, I would be afraid for my life. I would feel like it's a trap or something...
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
