It's scary how many people still parrot this line, which is 100% incorrect. The baker was happy to sell them a cake. They had many cakes in the store that they could have bought. The baker did not want to be compelled to create a custom cake (which he considered his artistic expression), to depict something he didn't agree with. Imagine forcing an Islamic baker to write "Mohammad was a dirty pedophile" on a cake. Same thing.
