Letter: So, what's a gay baker to do?

(Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) l-r Shell Danis dances at the corner of State and North Temple as Kate Kelly hands out cookies Monday evening. Supporters and members of theLGBTQIA+ community held the Gayest Bake Sale Ever, September 18th, 2017 at City Creek Park in response to the LDS Church and Utah legislators who support the Colorado baker who refused to make a cake for a same-sex couple's wedding. All proceeds of the bake sale will go to the Utah Pride Center, specifically to fund the Pride Center's LGBTQ+ Youth Survivors of Suicide Support Group.

I am so confused: If it’s OK or not OK for a straight baker to make or not to make a wedding cake for a gay couple, is it OK or not OK for a gay baker to make or not to make a wedding cake for a straight couple?
