In both cases there are alternatives. The cab drivers can be fired and find work elsewhere, the alleged marrying couple can hire a different florist or baker.




What if it were beer signs on the cab that they were objecting to which, I assume is fairly common? Should the employer be limited to what he can advertise on his cabs based on each if his drivers beliefs?

No they can find another job. What if they were Christian when he hired them and a year later the driver converted to Islam ?? Would the driver have the right to restrict the ads on the cabs because of his religious beliefs?

No? The business owner should have the right to fire them for refusing to work. That doesn't change the rights of the cab drivers to refuse to work.

Just because you have the right to do something doesn't mean you are free from the consequences of your actions even if you have the right to pursue those actions.
