So then a black owned Mom and Pop bakery can be forced to bake and decorate a cake for an anniversary meeting of the KKK, a Muslim owned Mom and Pop food store can be forced to order pork and a "????Pop and Pop????" owned print shop can be forced to produce flyers for a Westboro Baptist anti-same sex marriage rally?

Since those things are not politically correct they would receive media outrage aimed at the non-PC people would dare to try such things.

Courts ruled (several ears ago) that a senior citizen's discount is allowed but a "ladies night out" discount is not -- one "discrimination" is okay while the other isn't.
