So Jim, let's say an interracial couple (man and woman) went into his shop to buy a Halloween cake and he refused to make it because he said he believes Halloween is satanic. Under your logic, he is being racist because they are an interracial couple.

Back then that might be the only place in that section of town whereas today you are virtually tripping over competitors who will be glad to do business with you. But that isn't what they want. They want to find someone that they can enjoy forcing them to do what they don't want to do.

That was easy. Thanks for playing.

I bet you wouldn't have a problem if he refused to make a cake for a Pedophile wedding, would you? You would not say "it is a wedding cake so he has to make it" would you?
