Exactly!! What if you ran a bakery (open to the public) that specializes in cupcakes ... or donuts and a prospective customer comes in asking for a birthday cake. Your normal business reply would be "we don't make cakes - try another baker". And no one would question that. Just because you are a baker and run a baking business and have the skills to bake a cake does not obligate you to bake a cake just because you are "open to the public".
Well, we have a web designer that bakes websites with moral themes. She does not bake gay websites, porn websites, websites depicting violence or websites that depict other objectionable material (as defined by HER religion). And, as far as I'm concerned, her religion should not be an issue. It's just her choice for any reason at all that she doesn't bake gay wedding websites.
No one asks Dunkin' Donuts to uphold the fact that their product line does not include cakes by insisting that they evidence their religious beliefs that cakes are objectionable. It's just their business decision. And I totally agree with the SC that her business decision stands.
