> They are "legally required" to treat some people like all the other people their business supports in public - to do otherwise is the definition of segregation.

But of course, segregation is allowed in some circumstances. Like a women only gym is common sense even if it's segregation, so too is tackle football being only for men.

Racial segregation is more universally decried in almost all forms (except acting a part!).

Is same-sex relationships like gender or like race or like something else entirely? We're still figuring it out. It was very recently that we all thought there was a strong genetic basis for same-sex attraction, but now, after sequencing the entire human genome, we know there isn't. So these things are in flux, I don't think the cake thing is as black and white as most people make it out to be.
