> out of one side of their mouth while demanding gay wedding cakes get baked out of the other Sexuality is a protected characteristic, and it's illegal to disc

  The legality is entirely beside the point, although of note, in the case I referenced the Supreme Court found in a 7-2 decision that it was in fact legal to refuse to bake a cake for that particular gay wedding while being careful not to set a precedent. So your claim here is not universally true. Personally I would have baked the cake. There is a contingent of the left that is happy when force and coercion are deployed so long as its done in a wider context that benefits their political aims. They argue that a baker must be forced to go against his personal values to further a particular goal that they support, but take up the exact opposite posture as soon as it suits them. For example, Twitter is a private company, of course they can ban you for saying that thing you said that doesn't conform with my political views. At any rate, I was just trying to gesture towards a growing pack of vocal hypocrites, not re-litigate the baker decision.
