re: Serious question/hypothetical for you legal eagle types

The gay couple are members of a "protected class."

If they choose to target an orthodox muslim baker because of his "antigay beliefs", that is their prerogative. If they demand he make a cake with the image of Muhammed overseeing a gay wedding, it is their right to expect it be made, to command it be made . . . or force the baker to shutter his business.

For the baker it is a sacrilege. For the couple it is a "point to be made". The government is their enabler. Their target is an individual unequal and inferior under the law. The muslim is a lesser citizen than his tormentors.

The eventual extension is for gays to view it as their government-given right to demean, belittle and exclude such lesser citizens.

I'd love to hear a legal argument against your reasoning, because it seems to me you've hit the nail right on the head.
