The authors of the city's human rights ordinance, which the City-County Council passed in 2005 and which includes guarantees for equality regardless of sexual orientation, caution against an overly broad interpretation. Businesses also have the right to turn down requests to support causes in which they do not believe, says the letter, which also was signed by Scott Keller, a former Republican council member and co-sponsor of the ordinance, along with members of Indiana Equality, an advocacy group for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Hoosiers.
"In our view, it would be wrong to force a business to support a political project with which they do not agree," the letter says. For example, the letter says, the Jewish owner of a printing company should not be required to print posters for an anti-Jewish hate group.<<

The city (the business is located on city-owned property) is continuing its investigation of what happened, but it seems to me that the Jewish analogy really doesn't fit with what happened here. But my money spends just as well at other bakeries, so when I'm downtown I'll be discriminatory myself and not go to this particular establishment.
Just thought I'd post an update since this was one of the hot topics here about a week or so ago.
