It's not difficult to understand.

The monks didn't make this woman switch seats, the airline did because they handled the situation poorly. They should have simply moved the monks to seats that would have been more suitable for their needs.

It's not really comparable to the bakers for reasons I've said before. The bakers chose to actively discriminate against the customer even though their business isn't really aimed at a christian audience. Monkey mentioned 'Muslim Cafes' not serving pork products as a comparison and I said it's no different to going to a vegan place and expecting meat. You wouldn't do it because both of those places would be designed around a muslim and vegan audience specifically.

The Bakery had no such distinction thus you can't use the same defense. If they were called 'Ashers' Christian Bakery' then you'd be foolish to expect them to make a cake for gay marriage just like you wouldn't expect a church to host a gay wedding.

Yep this, and it also entirely different situations because unlike the monks, the christians didnt claim that they did not want to bake the cake because they felt unworthy to do so for gay people.

The monks didnt want to sit next to a woman out of respect for her, the christians didnt want to bake the cake out of disrepect to them. Its entirely different and it has been explained to personally you, cherie before.
