Except the cases about homophobes refusing to serve gay people aren't about refusing to serve gay people generally - they're about refusing to engage in speech they oppose on commission. The case with the homophobic baker wasn't refusing to sell a gay couple a cake off the shelf - they were refusing to accept a commission to create a custom cake, and a lot of their argument was over whether or not a cake design is speech in the same way an artwork is and whether the 1st Amendment trumps anti-discrimination laws.
