RUFKM? Judge orders Colorado Cake Maker to serve gay couples

No, I havent. For two reasons:

1) I'm not a fan of cake.
2) If Halal baking is as clean as Halal butchers, there's not enough cipro in the world to make the resultant illness cease.

Not really. CRS 24-34-601 simply states that a business may not discriminate due to the usual protected classes.
It says nothing about selective service.

Example- a business may select that they will not make a sale to anyone in a green shirt. Stupid? Yes, but not unlawful as long as they are not doing so because of "protected class" status.

BP already touched on this, but that statute doesn't say you can't refuse business to someone because you think they are an asshole.

Fair enough.
So, I moved on to the next, until I found somebody that would.

They weren't offering it to people that they liked and denying you; they would have denied everyone. There's the difference.

That example isn't that silly, since it's exactly what bars do to prevent trouble with gangs.

It's still a limitation on the "right to refuse service." [Dunno] TheGrey seemed to be implying that he had an unfettered right to choose who he does business with and who he does not do business with, but that's not true, at least not for a business that is generally open to the public.
