No, the baker still can't say "You're a gay customer, so therefore you can't have a cake". However, the customer can't force the baker to do something they don't feel comfortable with. Such as making a gay cake. It's like if I try to sue McDonald's for not making tacos. You can't force companies to make something they don't feel comfortable with.

That's not a very good comparison. Bakery's make cakes anyway. It wasn't what they were making, it was who they were making it for.

A better comparison would be McDonald's refusing to serve you because you're black. Do you think that would be ok?

They don't make "gay cakes", but they can make you a regular cake. It is against their religious belief and it's an item they don't create. Should someone ask them to make a cake with a racist slur, they have the right to deny that and hopefully any decent bakery would. Again, they can't deny someone based on sexual preference or skin color, but they can refuse to make an item they don't agree with or don't want to make.
