Oregon state law specifically forbids private business owners from discriminating based on sexual orientation.
But if that is the legal rationale, are there not competing principles in play here? The baker refuses on religious grounds, which is protected as well. So we have competing rights, as it were. How were the gay person's rights more complelling than the baker's rights?

Having legitimate religious beliefs doesn't give one an out in obeying the law. There are many religions that require the use of illegal drugs. If the government catches any of these people with drugs they are going to jail.
If it against one's religious beliefs to sell cakes to homosexuals then either don't sell cakes or at least move to a state that doesn't require private business owners to not discriminate based on sexual orientation
