Here's why the baker in CO lost before the Administrative Law Judge on the issue of same-sex cake

Some people (not in this thread, just generally) have the impression that "discrimination" is illegal. It's not. Some forms of irrational discrimination ("We don't hire Geminis&quot aren't covered by any laws (that I'm aware of) and are permitted. Others are against federal law and therefore illegal throughout the country. Discrimination based on sexual orientation is in an in-between area -- not broadly prohibited by federal law, and therefore dependent on state and local law. In some states, this baker's refusal to provide the wedding cake would be legal, despite being irrational and unfair.

The general principle is that you can't look to the courts to right every wrong.
