Why? Because they didn't care about cake. They cared about AGENDA. They aren't pragmatists or realists. In fact, the gay couple seems to be the fascist ones, imposing their beliefs upon others.

If someone is uncomfortable with some act of free will that they would not choose to do on their own volition, why make the government FORCE them to do it? That's pretty fucked up if you think about it.

So, I got more info on the gay wedding cake story. Apparently the bakers offered to bake the gay couple a REGULAR cake, or even cupcakes or other pastries. Basically, anything that didn't promote a gay agenda, as it went against their personal beliefs. They bakers drew the line at making a rainbow cake with 2 men on top. In the past, they have refused to decorate cakes with Halloween themes or scantily clad females, citing their personal beliefs in those situations as well.

So, the analogy that the gays would starve to death by being refused service goes out the window. They could have virtually any cake they wanted, just not something associated with homosexuality or gay marriage.

Lmao, you don't have to support gay marriage - if you offer CUSTOM WEDDING CAKES to straight couples, you'll make them for gay couples too. How hard of a concept is that for you to understand, and why don't you seem to understand that civil liberties depend on equal treatment for everyone. If he only offers plain cakes for every person, fine. That's acceptable, but they don't. They offer custom wedding cakes, and you don't get to pick and choose who you serve because it's not 1927 anymore.

Should gay Jewish bakers have to decorate Nazi cakes with Swastikas?

Nope, because it isn't reasonable to expect that and I think you're intelligent enough to understand that concept.

I also understand that uber-religious people deeply object to gay marriage and may believe their eternal salvation is on the line.

Yeah, well they aren't entitled to that in business that's open to the public.
