If you are in the service industry, serving people you may not like is just something you need to put up with (unless want they want is actually questionable/illegal/whatever)

there's a distinction between serving people and doing custom services, as per the Supreme Court.

for example, the bakery in question refusing to create a customized cake for a gay wedding is different from them refusing to sell a pre-made / existing cake to a gay couple. the important distinction is in the 'custom service' part.

Oh, well. i've no idea how things are actually ruled in America for these sort of things but I can see your point. I still think it is silly, and don't much care if your religion says X (christian, muslim, jewish, whatever) unless someone is trying to spread hateful message then you should just suck it up and do it. We all have to do stuff we may not like in jobs and this just seems to be another example to me.

Still, I can see that still offering a premade one isn't exactly a bad concession but I just don't think "religious" reasons should exempt you from doing a part of your job.

First you would have to find a religion that actually hates black people.

An extreme example, I admit. But why would one discrimination be okay, but refusal to serve a black person not be? For religious reasons or otherwise.
