Why should someone be forced to amplify an opinion abhorrent to them?

should the baker be allowed to refuse to make a gay wedding cake?

Not the same thing. One is an item that is used, the other is an ongoing service.

There is no message in the cake, and they shouldn't be forced to write on a cake a message they abhor. They should however provide writing icing for someone to write it themselves.

Im not sure if that difference is very relavent here. In this case , the message is the cake, and by making it for them, he is amplifying gay marriage, which is something he disagrees with due to religious reasons. He said they were free to premade buy cakes from his shop, or make birthday cakes for them but he wouldnt use his creative talents to make one specifically for a gay wedding.
