The problem with restricting freedom of speech for racists, sexists, homophobes, and like, is that if we impose laws doing so, it weakens the path of resistance for laws restricting freedom of speech for other groups the government does not like.

That said, at least here in the US, it is normally considered that companies have less rights to freedom of speech than individuals, and that while they have freedom of speech with regard to political speech (e.g. editorial content in a newspaper, political ads on TV, etc.) they do not have freedom of speech with regard to commercial speech. Of course, whether a message on a cake counts as political speech or commercial speech is a good question unto itself.

One problem is that law requires a strict definition for often fluid concepts.

All in all, to me, freedom of speech is more important than trying to prevent people from expressing people from saying racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. things through legal means.

Or you consider it possible for speech to be genuinely harmful sometimes.
