Indiana's Govenor Signs 'Religious Freedom' Bill

[Ravenshire]

If you decide to ply your wares in the public market, you can't choose who gets to sit at the counter. Opening your doors to the public means exactly that. The public is everyone.

Why do you think your statement is true?  Because you say so?  

Some members of the public open carry weapons.  Do businesses have the right to discriminate against them? Some members of the public do not wear formal attire when they go to a restaurant.  Does the restaurant have the right to refuse them service?  It just doesn't follow that just because a business is open to the public it is required to serve anyone who is a member of the public. 

People should be free to exchange goods and services with whoever they want. They should not be forced to exchange goods and service with people they don't want.

The key point of law that applies is "compelling state interest." The state has a compelling interest in protecting the lives of its citizens. I fail to see how using the power of government to force a baker to make a cake for someone's wedding is a compelling state interest. Why cry "mommy mommy" to the government instead of taking your business elsewhere.

When the gay customer can easily find another baker willing to bake a cake for their gay wedding, the state has no compelling interest.  This is a case of progressives simply trying to force other people to behave in a way they want them to behave for no good reason other than that is their desire.
