The difference is whether you belong to a protected class of people as dictated by the government. Strangely, often the difference in those cases is also how you respond. "I want a cake for my gay wedding." "Sorry, I'm too busy to fulfill your request." Likely nothing comes of it. "I want a cake for my gay wedding." "No, I don't support your lifestyle and I'll pray for your soul." Lawsuit. Granted, extreme example of a response there. Lesson is, just say no but don't say why.
