The commission stated Phillips' refusal went against the state's public accommodation law. It requires businesses to serve customers regardless of their sexual orientation.

Well that was a malarkey accusation. He is happy to serve customers regardless of their 'sexual orientation' - because he should not even know the customer's sexual orientation. He just refuses to make cakes that have messages on them that he - the baker and owner - finds offensive.
Would the Colorado Commission take Mr. Phillips to task if he refused to make a cake that had white hooded Klansmen (modeled after Grand Keagle Robert Byrd) lynching a black man? He'd be infringing on the Klan's right to free speech -- for consistency sake the Commission should insist that the baker should provide that product also. They'd be wrong -- as they are for insisting that a Christian baker bakes a cake celebrating a sodomite liaison.

...the issue deals with so called sexual discrimination, not free speech...a better analogy would be if he would refuse to bake a cake for a guy and a girl who were publicly announcing their intention to swap spouses with six other couples after their wedding night-also a non Biblical approach to marriage...
