This can be the one or the other party depending on the situation. If there is only one hostel in town and they refuse to give the homosexual couple a bed, the couple has more to lose. But if a baker is at risk to close his business merely because of a cake, the baker has more to lose. We all ought to side with the weaker party.
The Supreme Court works for Caesar, and one of their main jobs is figuring out how to balance the rights of one party against the rights of another party. When there are major changes - like the new right to gay marriage Caesar has created - the Supreme Court always winds up figuring out how to balance these new rights against existing rights of others. Like us.
We're likely to see similar rebalancing as the legal system tries to figure out how new open carry laws figure in to 1st Amendment rights of expression and association, as we saw in Charlottesville. So praying for Caesar's wisdom is particularly important as these kinds of things shift.
