It's not the only bakery, that's the point. Why are the 2 gays suing the bakery instead of just going to a different one? What is their goal? Is this particular bakery THE BEST one with the most delicious cakes that cannot be replicated elsewhere? I highly doubt it. The customers just want to be assholes.

And to answer your question, that depends if the bakery is a privately owned and operated company or a publicly funded institution. If it is a privately owned bakery, then yes, they have the right to discriminate [though, I would advise against it, as it is a stupid business practice]. If it is PUBLIC/GOVERNMENT funded, then it should cater to everyone.

Same answer as above.
