"Public store front" seems tenuous to me, but maybe there is legal basis to this. So let's say the cake maker decides instead of having a "public" store, he has on online store instead. Why should the online seller have extra legal right to pick and choose his customers than the person who has a physical shop?
Well... setting aside that the cake maker absolutely does choose their occupation... but let's assume they're a born cake maker, and they'd rather die than not make cakes. I'd watch that movie (I mean, if I watched movies, I would).
Fine, they can make cakes. They can open a private cake club, members only, and sell their custom cakes to the finest hotels and fancy pants rich people, and they can further choose to only sell cakes to those hotels and fancy pants rich people who are also bigots.
I find such behavior despicable, but I would not want that behavior made illegal. It's unsavory, but only people already complicit in that aspect are involved. They are free to hate in private, IMO.
IDK about the internet. It's a fuzzy line if there is one. It's probably all gray area, really, and I simply don't know enough about it, or have the legal backing to make a sweeping statement. If you have some specific cases to ponder over, I'll give them a think.
