The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a Christian baker in Colorado who refused to make a custom cake for a same-sex couple, but the court punted on spelling out how far the government can go to prevent sexual-orientation discrimination in the marketplace.

The high court's 7-2 ruling in the closely watched case left open the question of how a state enforcing anti-discrimination laws in a more neutral fashion would have to accommodate individuals' rights to religious freedom and free expression.
