text: With limited space, labels are easier than trying to write a paragraph explaining the various nuances of someone's position.  In the case of the baker, I would call him a religious zealot, which is probably even closer to the mark than calling him a homophobe.  If he is that convinced that his religion tells him to discriminate, then he is a zealot, and the sad thing, is that he misses the peaceful and loving teachings of Christianity.  I am not a Christian, but I know enough about the religion to realize that people who use their interpretations of the bible as a club to discriminate against others, aren't following the teachings of Jesus at all.
