I would like to know what religion the baker is, plenty of religions are against Gay Marriage but they will still be accepting of Gays. Even the Pope just recently came out and said "Who are we to Judge". Be interesting to A) See where this Goes and B) see what kind of can of worms it opens up.

You made a good point about freedom of speech. I looked it up...the ACLU, of course, has defended the Westboro Baptists on both freedon of speech grounds and freedom of religion grounds...
"I would like to know what religion the baker is"
Some kind of Christianity...
"plenty of religions are against Gay Marriage but they will still be accepting of Gays"
Very true.
"interesting to A) See where this Goes and B) see what kind of can of worms it opens up"
The baker, who can get free representation if he chooses, has not yet decided (last I checked) whether o rnot he will appeal.
I wonder if ACLU will defend his right to freedom of religion, as they did for Westboro Baprist? Not likely!
