You said it better than I could.
Last time I looked, being a Trump supporter was not a protected class under anti-discrimination laws.
Although that could change. LOL
If it were me, I would bake the stupid cake for the kid.
He's nine.
Actually being gay is not a protected class all over the country yet.
In April a federal appeals court ruled that Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which bans discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, and national origin, also covers homosexuality.
That happened in the 7th Circuit, which handles cases in Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin.
If upheld by the Supreme Court, the decision would create explicit protections for homosexuals in employment, housing, and education, regardless of a business owner’s, landlord's, or school’s sincerely held beliefs.
Never mind all this nonsense about cakes, there are still places in this country where you can be fired for being gay.
