I don't care where you stand on gay rights. This is absolutely ridiculous and just flat out wrong. The business owner's rights are now being violated in the name of PC.
Absolutely not. You cannot force someone to violate their religious beliefs. If you think this is okay, just wait until the tables are turned on you. This affects your rights as well.

Actually, you can. Religious beliefs only apply in a religious institution. A place of public accommodation must accommodate people equally, based on traits defined by the jurisdiction.

Of course it does. Federally, I cannot turn anyone away from a business due to their religious beliefs, gender, race, etc. Nor can they turn me away for being gay in some states, but not federally. Colorado is one of those states. We all benefit from anti-discrimination law.

So if a member of the Aryan Nation or KKK goes into a black or Jewish owned bakery and orders a cake with "Happy Birthday Adolph Hitler" and swastikas on it and the baker refuses to make it should he be able to sue them? If not, then why not?

No, because political beliefs are not covered under anti-discrimination law.
Why do gay people like to make a big deal of it. Why not just move on and find another bakery. Who would want a bakery to create a wedding cake for their wedding after having to force the owner through a lawsuit to bake 'em a cake.
Ridiculous. Move along, gay couple.
Here's a tally from MSN home page: Do you agree with the judge's ruling that the bakery must serve gay couples?

The bakery owners broke the law, plain and simple. Allowing that sets a very dangerous precedent.
