Mate you'll never get through to certain folk on here. They have no understanding of the Equality Act and why it exists.
Society is still full of bigotry and thanks to the Equality Act these bigots are struggling to find places to hide. Make examples of all these people is the only way society will start to learn that certain behaviors are unacceptable
Except like everything it can and will get abused. Which can infuriate and encourage the bigotry.
In the case of the Baker and the cake, who knows what exactly went on, and perhaps there is more to it than the refusal of the cake due to its design, in which case it makes sense that they are pulled up on discrimination.
If however, it is exactly as it seems, then the case is just another example of how ridiculous things have become in the world.
A consequence of such things is that sometimes people who otherwise have no issue with something - whether someone is gay, or whether they should or shouldn't be able to marry get frustrated which can cause a friction that wasn't even there until all these 'Examples are made'.
Obviously it is not just limited to this particular situation, I am sure most people can think of times where Political Correctness or Health and Safety have overblown a situation into something ridiculous.
We have a habit of creating things with great intentions but often they seem to spiral out of control
