For businesses, discrimination has an opportunity cost attached to it. In the case of the baker, his/her gross sales will be lower because he doesn't bake for gay weddings. This isn't enough punishment for progressives. That baker must conform to their will or he simply won't be allowed to engage in his business.
I'm a progressive and don't hold to that belief. I believe forcing people into adopting or even expressly accepting a particular lifestyle is wrong.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
