This is what this case was about and that is the reason for the "narrow ruling". As the majority stated, more will be decided in the courts as time goes on. This was a victory for this artist, and the State of Colorado should pay reparations for the damage their bigoted and based actions caused this business owner. So, I disagree. This was a victory for the cake artist and his conscience and for the abuse of citizens by biased governmental adjudication bodies which acted like a fascists (forcing their governmental power inappropriately upon individual citizens).

I think you're missing the context. The guy refused equal treatment to a couple of people based on nothing but his preference (that it's supposedly dictated by his religion is, to me, entirely irrelevant). Him winning against persecution for prejudice is no victory.
