Refusing to sell Condoms is not an equivalent example. And is absurd. As is that ham one. Selling prepackaged pre-made cheaper product in a cheap cardboard box is not equivalent to being forced to bake a custom made cake from absolute scratch, which most wedding cakes are
An equivalent example would be a woman going to a Catholic doctor and asking the Catholic doctor for an Abortion or reference to a person who will perform one. Or you know, a Gay Couple going to a Catholic Church and expecting the Priest will perform the service. That's basically what this baker is being forced to do, a custom job for a gay wedding when his religious beliefs should excuse him from having to perform the custom service.
The line is clear. Prepackaged product with little input from the religious person except for the sale VS forcing said religious person to perform a custom job they won't like and that you could have gotten someone else to do.
