And you know this.

The Muslim truckers refused to do their stated job, for religious reasons. The owners of the company were not allowed to punish them.
It's the Christians in this case who are being denied equal protection. This is why the Little Sisters prevailed at the Supreme Court, over Obama, who tried to deny them their protected rights.
Read the freedom of religion clause, and tell me how you can conclude anything other than telling the happy couple to find another baker. If Muslim truckers can refuse to transport things that violate their religion and not be subject to punishment, then the Little Sisters can say that they aren't providing birth control and abortions.
The Bill Of Rights applies, even when liberals don't particularly like it.
There is a Christian baker case at the Supreme Court right now. Thank God for Gorsuch.
