I refuse to bake a penis shaped cake. You might as well throw me to the wolves. You'll never change my mind. If you want it done, open a bakery and make it yourself.
Have a nice day.

Which is completely within your legal rights...what you can't do is refuse to bake ANY cake for someone because don't like their color, religion or who they love.

It is hypocritical that those who have pushed this idea that business can be forced into doing something and then magically avoid this.
I, however back the business's decision in refusing service. They have that right....well if you abide by the Constitution and BoRs they do.

why the need for the sudden injection of a law that was already at the federal level? what inspired that decision? were gays encountering an epidemic of christians not selling to them or did they decide to do the same thing crowder did, and go from store to store till they found someone who would refuse?
WATCH: A Field Guide for Identifying Sneaky, Homophobic Laws
Nice civil rights you've got there. Sure would be a shame if something happened to them.
BY MATT BAUMEMARCH 6 2015
While LGBT Americans are busy celebrating the spread of marriage equality, homophobic lawmakers have yet another trick up their sleeve. A new trend hitting legislatures across the country: sneaky laws that erode civil rights for LGBT citzens without ever actually mentioning LGBT people, or even same-sex marriage.
It's a clever strategic move, since it would be unconstitutional to call out gays and lesbians specifically in a law that revokes civil rights. So anti-equality politicians have figured out how to cleverly word new laws that still manage to target sexual orientation for discrimination.
Some of these proposed new laws — like the one recently enacted in Arkansas — would make it against the law for towns to add new groups to nondiscrimination policies. Others follow Mississippi's lead, and would allow businesses and government employees to pick and choose which members of the public they'd serve. And some — like a bill passed last month in the North Carolina Senate — would even require public employees to discriminate against same-sex couples.

WATCH: Absurd Defenses for Marriage Bans Headed to Supreme Court - - BY MATT BAUMEAPRIL 06 2015
Four states will defend their marriage bans before the U.S. Supreme Court this month, but their arguments are hard to swallow.
On April 28, attorneys for Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, and Tennessee will defend their states' marriage bans before the Supreme Court. But we got a little preview of their arguments last week when they submitted their briefs.
The states never had a strong case for maintaining their bans, but the claims in their briefs are flat-out absurd. Kentucky, for example, claims that its marriage ban is not discriminatory because it applies equally to gay and straight couples. That's technically true, but straight couples aren't exactly clamoring to marry someone of the same sex. The impact of the ban is only felt by LGBT residents.
Michigan's brief claims that gay couples will be demeaned by the Court's potential finding that they're entiled to equal protection. According to the state, couples should strive to have their rights validated by popular opinion instead. Tennessee claims that its marriage ban promotes responsible procreation — somehow. And Ohio says that voters would be harmed if the Supreme Court found that they had voted for an unconstitutional law.

Doesn't matter.
What you propose is that with the increase of people, more and more laws are required.
Is is that you think people are too dumb to manage their own lives? Or that you just want the Govt to control more how you deem as okay.

WOW....so the Govt exerting greater and greater control, penned by a few, is now equal to what happens in the private confines of a home.
