They should be able to.
Argumentum ad absurdum. Life is about drawing lines, except for progressives who want to win 100% of everything.
You are right, it is about drawing lines. Letting someone sacrifice people to Queztacoatl or Satan- ridiculous.
Letting someone smoke pot because they are a Rastafarian? Meh, they aren't really hurting anyone, so why not?
So being a homophobic bigot and using religion as an excuse when society has moved beyond that bullshit, probably falls somewhere in between.
If your business isn't allowed free exercise, you aren't allowed free exercise. Of course it has to be balanced with compelling needs, and sorry, someone being butthurt over a cake isn't compelling compared to shutting down someone's livelihood.

First and foremost, why should this "Right" merely apply to business owners? Why not the wage slaves... then we could have THIS kind of fun at the checkout line.
Stamping out homophobia is a compelling need. Just like stamping out racism is a compelling need. You squeal about the last little bit of bigotry you can still hold on to, hiding it under a bible, when most of the churches are distancing themselves from it.
Shit, even the MORMONS started supporting the Marriage Equality Bill! THE MORMONS! What is the world coming to.
