Simple enough

Ideologically, a baker (or a butcher or a candlestick maker) SHOULD have the right to do (or decline) business with anyone for any reason or for no reason. I believe that strict construction of the Constitution also supports this view.

Legally, public accommodation and protected class statutes currently interfere with that right. I believe those statutes to be unconstitutional, but a century of Commerce Clause jurisprudence disagrees. It would take a SCOTUS with YUGE cojones to change it.

I have said the same hundreds of times on this very forum. Some posters just seem to have difficulty grasping the difference between that which SHOULD be and that which IS.
