Let me ask the same question with a little twist. Supposed an interracial or were getting married and they went to a bakery to buy a wedding cake. Suppose the baker said I do not approve of interracial couples getting married because it contradicts my core beliefs, and I won't bake you a cake.
Would it be OK for that couple to say, "Thank you for your honesty" and walk away and look for another baker? Or should they have the same rights as you and I, assuming we don't contradict the baker's beliefs.
A "core belief" may not be the same as religious conviction.
