You can't say it's the definition of discrimination without explaining why it is.

How did anything I just say deny human rights based on prejudice?

[The Comrade]

the part where you said gays aren't denied service cause they're gay it just so happens all those bakeries and flower shops only cater to christian denominations that disagree with gay marriage and homosexuality

[phosphide]

Irrelevant and completely ignores my entire post. If a business chooses to only serve certain denominational weddings that is their choice. It doesn't deny human rights nor does it mean they are prejudice on the basis of sexuality. Nor does it mean they are prejudice against other religions (which would also follow from your response).

"it's not that i don't serve blacks i just don't serve inner-city youths who are on the lower end of the socio-economic spectrum and/or are named tyrone"

you're being a bit disingenuous here. if you don't think people should have to serve gays just say it.

The hair splitting between someone who's uncomfortable with gay marriage and someone who's uncomfortable with gay clients is too thin of a hair to fit legislation between. If you allow businesses to refuse gay marriage related service, it will provide a platform for a chilling effect on serving diversity in general.
