A customer cannot force a business owner not to make a product. And a business owner cannot be forced into "speaking" via his product in favor of a new age cult like LGBT. If we were talking about a race of people wanting two black figures on a cake getting married then, yes. The 14th covers that. However, the 14th does not force people to condone [speak in action] others' behaviors in violation of their 1st Amendment rights.\
Put it to the Supreme Court Wordwatcher. How do you think they'll decide when the premise is known to be "behavior" and not "race"?
It was put before the Supreme court. Those very arguments were made. The case was Elane Photography v. Willock.
The case was appealed to the Supreme Court and they declined to review the case making the New Mexico Supreme Court the final word in that case.
Elane Photography v. Vanessa Willock

No such thing as "the final word" on issues of 1st amendment rights when the case was handled poorly.
Let me guess, the attorneys for the christian baker didn't introduce the premise that gays are a behavior and not a race? Right?
And then, they didn't bring up a person being forced to speak when they don't want to. A first Amendment issue.
They probably just said the person didn't think it was right. Sometimes these attorneys "for" christians make me wonder. I've had more than one attorney in my life throw the case to the other side for money.
I'd try it again. And again. And again. Never give up.
#1 Show's your famiiarity with the case............... Elane Photography wasn't a baker case.
#2 Yes they raised religous and free speech arguments, they lost and the SCOTUS let it stand.
#3 You can try the "behavior" aspect, probably won't go far. The SCOTUS has already ruled in Lawrence v. Texas and Romer v. Evan's that States can't target homosexuals for discrimination. Whether it was biological or behavioral was irrelevant.
#4 Have fun making the same failed arguments over and over gain and never quiting. There's an old saying that has something to do with doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. Hmmm - I'll remember it sometime.
