Except it's quite different.

Not stocking a book is not the same as refusing someone service on the grounds of their sexuality. Not stocking a book because you think the author's a transphobe is not discrimination, refusing to serve someone because of their sexuality certainly is, as the courts agreed. The difference between the two examples is that one opposes discrimination, while the bakery attempted to enforce it.
