And the same could be said for the baker who said he does not make cakes depicting gay ceremonies, yet he was forced to bake a cake for a gay wedding.

Why is it ok for one person to deny such services, yet not for the other? Kind of hypocritical isn't it?

And then one needs to wonder why the gay couple took the issue to court to force a baker to bake the cake? Kind of sounds like they were using their agenda to make a point about their rights, and trampled the baker's religious rights in the process.
