I agree with this and I reckon most people wouldn't want that but I think there's something more fundamental which is being able to walk into a shop without worrying that you'll be turned away because of something like sexuality, for me that's the core of it. If I was to be turned away then no I wouldn't want to force them and I wouldn't want their products, but it's that the situation is allowed to happen in the first place that I think is the problem, and yes I think I would do something about that.
If the bakers problem is the conflict between their religion and their business, the solution to that shouldn't have to be the customer walking away after being refused service to find someone else, that's putting their problem onto the customer when it's theirs to deal with.
