And?
They should be able to operate the business as they please. It's THEIR business and THEY assume ALL the risk of being in bussines.
Agree with this post. Note that I do not agree with the bakery owners' views, however, I do not think they must be forced to do business with those they don't wish to. There must be other bakeries that would have no issues baking for those customers. I see no harm done in refusing to do business with those you do not wish to, whatever the reason, for non-life threatening issues. IE, I don't think it proper a hospital turn people away, nor a physician. But a cake? Just let them bake for whom they want.
There are still some places where there are signs that say "WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE TO ANYONE". Basically, it's just used as protection for that business in case anything did happen. It's not necessarily discriminatory in any way.
You can put any sign you want in your window, but if you refuse service based on race, gender, religion, and in some states sexual orientation, you will be in trouble with the law.

If they made a really great product at a fair price people would be lining up. But liberal-hating conservatives who want to see conservative martyrs never consider the possibility that this bakery sold a bad product at high prices. Can't do that and pay the rent on a shop.
Why are you blaming liberals. It seems their own prejudice is what killed their business. If you are going to have a business that caters to only certain groups then you are setting yourself up for failure.
Agreed. And that should be THEIR choice. A business owner should be able to run their business how they want since they assume all the risk...

And that is a bad law.
