Civil Rights Act extends protections to "protected groups"

As of now, does not include sexual orientation (as far as I can tell), although other bodies have interpreted sexual orientation to be protected (Equal Opportunity Employment)

Yes, not relevant in this case, but the GP wasn't talking about this case, he was talking about all cases.

Patently false if you're talking about legal rights, but I doubt he's talking about legal rights.

Which would mean that a baker cannot discriminate against "who ever they feel like" as GP said.
