I would absolutely support adding sexual orientation to that list in every state, or at the federal level. But if it's not there in the bakers' state, then, legally, they are (unfortunately) in the clear.

Colorado does indeed have anti-discrimination laws to protect gay people which the baker was in clear violation of. The Supreme Court made a narrow ruling on a procedural matter.
