I don't agree that your explanation of it not being discrimination because it's a religious belief holds weight. It seems that they used their religious belief to discriminate.

Well then you're wrong. They're not refusing to serve lesbians a wedding cake just because they're lesbians. They're refusing to take part in the celebration of something they believe is morally wrong. That's not discrimination. It would be discriminatory if they were refusing to bake a cake simply because of the fact that they were baking if for lesbians, but that's not the case. This isn't about who they were baking cake for, it's about the fact they are taking part in the celebration of something they believe is morally wrong.

If a straight man, who was a friend of the lesbians, had come to the baker and asked them to bake the cake, and said it was for a lesbian wedding, the bakers would have still refused. In that case, they would have been directly serving a straight man. Are they discriminating against him somehow?

If these bakers were refusing to serve homosexuals anything just because they're homosexuals, that would be discriminatory. But that's not what is happening here, and shame on the judge for not recognizing this.
