A danger coming here is that there will be those of any point of view who will then "target" a business with owners that have an opposing view. They will request a service counter to the owner's view and then bring charges if refused. The business (probably) shouldn't refuse service because of customer's view but that doesn't follow they can't if their own view is to be compromised.

For the cake issue, there are other bakers who would welcome such a commission. It's not like the refusal of one baker would deny the customer their cake.

You wouldn't charge a halal or kosher butcher for refusing to sell pork. If you went to such a butcher it would be understood they don't deal in pig products though I think Muslims can cook/sell pork just not eat it, look at the number or Muslim burger sellers who do have bacon burger on the menu.
