There is a discussion of obeying one's conscience. If we believe that it is sinful for us to engage in said activity, we should not do it.
How convenient. And I doubt this baker every did anything deemed sinful by the religious tenets he follows. He only chooses to cite the need to obey his conscience when it suits him.
Years ago, I worked in a field that ultimately wound up being against my ethics. I left the field. Instead of having to deal with it on a frequent basis, I did something else instead. Maybe that's not a good solution for this baker, but there are solutions other than discrimination.

You'd have to ask the baker. But our Constitution allows for a man to freely practice his religion without interference from the government. I'm sorry if you don't like it, but that's how it is. His rights are as important as anyone else's rights.
As for him leaving the field? He's a baker. He's probably been baking cakes for many years. For years no one had an issue with him until he was targeted by a couple of activists.
If he was an employee in a bakery that agreed to bake the cake and he refused, then he should be fired -- at the employer's discretion. He has no rights to a job. He has a right to practice his religion.
Social justice to support a sinful lifestyle is not justice or progress. No business owner should have to be forced to engage on any level involving an immoral ceremony.
There is not one definition of what is sinful. What if I think your posts are sinful?
Not paying attention to somebody is not discrimination.
If I think someone's opinion and behavior about religion is sinful, should I be able to discriminate against them?
