With that said, under the current state of constitutional law, I have a hard time envisioning the Court upholding the right to discriminate in a business setting.



The case isn't about not serving gays because they're gay, but not serving a cake for a gay wedding since gay weddings are against their moral principles. If the baker refused service because of them being gay then that won't pass muster but the question is can you force some one to provide a service to a function against your moral values.


This is correct. If I am remembering correctly, the bakery had served them before on several occasions. It was the wedding cake that they refused based upon their religion. So they were not refusing based on their sexuality, since they had served them before.

If you run a business that is open to the public, you have to serve them. It sounds like they did that. If you are asking them to provide their services for a private function, they should have the right to say no. Catering a private event is not the same as operating a store front. If they declined making a cake for a klan rally I doubt the state would care.
