And, yes, for those of you young enough not to remember 2003, sodomy laws — laws making sex between gay people (and oftentimes oral sex between straight people, too) a crime — were legal in this country just 15 years ago.

Can a neo-nazi compel a jewish baker to make a cake celebrating the holocaust? Can a klan member compel a black baker to make a cake celebrating slavery? Where are the limits? Just for liberal causes? Smith is proving his critics rights.
-
The limits are obvious. It's ok to refuse to sell a cake with a reprehensible message on it to anyone. It's not ok to refuse to sell a wedding cake to a gay person when you would sell a wedding cake to a straight person.
-
You can limit what message there is on the cake, but not limit whom you sell the cake to, when whom you sell the cake to is a message of its own kind? Then a nazi party could demand jewish bakers make their cakes? The klan could demand black bakers make their cakes?

Not in Colorado at least. Political affiliation is not one of the protected characteristics enumerated in the public accommodations statute - sexual orientation is.

If this cake shop was forced to bake him a cake would he not turn around and boycott them?
