Well, at that point all he, probably, meant, was abolition of actively anti-gay laws. Marriage equality was not on the agenda, and he did not mention it in any explicit way. Chances are, he did not even think of it - though I might be wrong.

If the United States consisted of NY City, it would have been so easy to let private businesses practice discrimination against customers, if their owners would so desire. So what if some deli or florist on Broadway does not serve blacks, Jews or gays - there is another one 100 yards away that does. Unfortunately, so much of the US consists of places that do not have so many florists or bakers. So, the answer to the question: "why would you want to purchase your cake from people who hate you?" is sometimes very simple: "this is the only baker in town".
