Then you go to another cake shop. And slam the homophobic cake shop (like what has happened) the shop owner has the right to be a homophobic piece of shit but he will probably loose business because of it. Such is the way of the free market.

Doesn't work that way anymore, if it ever did. Recently a pizza place got something like a million dollars on gofundme because far right people were outraged that they supposedly got harassed over their refusal to cater gay weddings.The whole thing was weird, because they didn't cater weddings anyway but we live in a wacky world now where polarization has extreme results.

That's really what makes me uncomfortable here. If an African American wanted a an equal rights cake and was denied I feel like many of the responses would change despite the fact that it's the exact same situation

Provided they weren't refusing to make the cake because of the race of the person making the request then I don't see a problem legally. If they refused service outright because the customer was an African American then there is a potential case.

Considering the labyrinthian law when it comes to issues of free speech and businesses that serve the public it doesn't surprise me that he would say this. I can see someone coming out on either end of the matter in this case especially. There are plenty of others where I think the choice is clearly discrimination.
