Is baking protected speech? The Supremes are taking the Msterpiece Cake Shop vs Colorado Civil Righs Commission. Silly or serious?

For religious reasons the cake shop refused to bake a cake for  the wedding of a gay couple . The baker said his cake is art and is protected speech. In restaurents you sometimes see signs that  indicate they have a right to decide whom they will serve and whom they won't. Is that illegal? There are signs that read they don't serve folks who are barefoot and I guess in  fancy schmany dancy places if you are dressed appropriately the reserve the right to kick you out.  So where does reasonable and common sense fit it?

    Maybe if you ask this a few more times someone will play with you.
