I thought they would have just sat on it for a week and waited for it all to blow over so I went looking to see if there was an update.
Guess it happened in January and they actually saw a hike in their business afterward. Here's a couple reports from around that time.

The lady had purchased from him before but he denied her when she specified it was a les wedding. He's response about being anti-gay is pretty funny.
Specifying that he does not consider himself to be anti-gay -- "I'll sell [gay people] stuff...I'll talk to them, it's fine" -- Klein went on to note, "I'd rather have my kids see their dad stand up for what he believes in than to see him bow down because one person complained."
This article a week later.

A Feb. 9 protest staged by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights advocates did little to deter customers, and the owners say they were sold out of cupcakes.
I guess it was around the middle of August when they received notice of an investigation.
Just a case of people having too much time on their hands. You were denied a cake, get your grievances in and move on. If they're still fucking with them at this point, they're just being dickheaded about the whole situation.
The couple is moving their business into their home so they don't have to accommodate in the future. I can respect the fact that they are steadfast in saying they'd rather close the store than be forced to do shit they don't want to do. That said, it's just a fucking cake. Nobody is asking you to show up to the wedding and cut it for them.
Stupid all around. Not really worth the attention it's getting.
