Great, so I can refuse to bake a cake for a gay wedding?

Probably, but I wonder whether you could ask facebook to take down messages on your facebook page to bake a cake for a gay wedding if a North Dakotan legislator was requesting it...

I agree with OP as well with hosting rights so I don't see why not. Otherwise it's a kind of enforced slavery. People shouldn't have to do work for people they refuse to do work for. Force a man to do such a thing and his will for civility can take a dive.

That’s already the case for the USA. You can also create religious organizations and ban gay people from employment there.

According to the US Supreme Court, yes.

Yep. You’re not under obligation to bake a cake for anyone that asks for you to, paid or unpaid.
