Woman tries to buy birthday cake for her wife...

Why did this weirdo baker decide to look up his customer's Facebook page to begin with?

Yeah, that is weird as hell. I hope the backlash puts his business out of commission.

Anywho, I have a pretty clear-cut position on this. If you don't believe in gay marriage and don't want to "aide and abed" a gay marriage ceremony, like a wedding, you have the right to refuse service. However, a birthday cake is not religious in nature. The private life of the two women involved is none of his business (it would be if he had to bake a cake involving their private life, ie, a wedding) so he lacks the right to freedom of association in this case.

If he can deny service to these two women, why not deny service to a pregnant teenager? Or a recovering alcoholic? The public means the public. A gay wedding is not the public, but a gay couple entering the bakery for a simple birthday cake is.

Businesses have no right to discriminate. Period.

It's not that simple I'm afraid.  I mean I hate bigotry and intolerance, but your kind of statement is a pretty blanket statement.  For starters, should a business be obliged to serve skinheads?  Personally I think not.

If they're not promoting/ostentating their views or being disruptive in any way and the only way you can tell they are skinheads is by their physical looks, then I don't see how you can refuse service.

What if they have a swastika tattooed on their forehead?
