I think - but I'm not sure - that in the UK the baker would have a defence against the discrimination charge because had she complied she might have been guilty of a crime herself.
Expressions of hatred toward someone on account of that person's colour, race, nationality (including citizenship), ethnic or national origin, religion, or sexual orientation is forbidden.[1][2][3] Any communication which is threatening or abusive, and is intended to harass, alarm, or distress someone is forbidden.[4] The penalties for hate speech include fines, imprisonment, or both.[5]

It's a very controversial law - its heart is in the right place but it's a step too far.

I think there is still a problem.
I think you'll find that that particular problem will be resolved. (You'll spot the glow in the distance on your way home.)
But it's a pretty fine balance, you complained when I pointed out the UK law that might provide a defence.
