The Supreme Court case that you're speaking of set no precedent that a business can refuse service due to gender or sexual orientation.
They ruled that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission violated the Free Exercise clause of the first amendment by not properly respecting Jack Phillips' religious beliefs during their hearings on the matter.
That's why everyone was saying that it was a "narrow" ruling - they did not rule on the "wide" question, which was about businesses discriminating based on sexual orientation.
The ruling can be read here [1]. It's pretty short and easy to read, if you want to know more about the case.
