Is it exercising freedom of religion for a store owner to refuse service to gays? [Spirituality & Religion]

Like in that instance where a cake shop owner refused to sell a wedding cake to a gay couple on the basis that it was against his religion.

Is discrimination protected by religious freedom?

Ugh sick of this argument !

The 'Religious freedom' is the bakers right to practice his faith unhindered by the state !
Deliberately refusing service to a couple because it conflicts with your religious viewpoint is NOT an INFRINGEMENT of your RIGHT TO PRACTICE YOUR FAITH !

If ANYTHING it's an upholding of THE LAW AGAINST the bakers THINKING that HE has the RIGHT to refuse service to a gay couple.
Why ? Because that is DISCRIMINATION !
PUNISHABLE by LAW !

See the difference ?
