You're splitting hairs. I pretty much said that when I wrote, "But yes, he refused service once they requested a personalized cake.". The baker was wrong, but IMO there is a difference between blanket denial of service (Red Hen) and the baker who refused a personalized cake.
We will never know the true answer to this question, so we are both speculating.
But let me ask you.
Mr. Phillips maintains a catalog of wedding cakes, you can view them at his shops web site. Many of those cakes are - what I'll call - gender neutral. In other words there is not personalized writing (as in the names of the wedding individuals) and no "Toppers" (i.e. gender specific figurines).
QUESTION: Do really believe that Mr. Phillips would have sold them one of the cakes that he'd already designed and had in his catalog?
