AFAIK there is no shortage of establishments where a gay couple could be married (any JOP would be obligated I would guess) and if you think a gay couple can't find a baker to make a cake...
My problem with those laws is that they violate the liberties of individuals on the one hand and are just completely unnecessary on the other. I haven't seen any definitive studies that suggest that gays, as a group, are truly harmed by discrimination and NDA laws just fall into the "we wanna be nice to everyone" category. That's not a reason to pass legislation IMO.
They're unequal. By the fact alone that I am normal means I don't get a gay marriage. Just a marriage.
Add an adjective and there's nothing equal about anything.
