What if an individual disagrees with the company policy of 'don't serve gay people', and serve one anyway? Who would be in the wrong?

The employee agrees to the employer's policies when they sign on. If the employers have it written out that it is company policy not to serve gays, then the employee is technically in the wrong if (s)he serves a gay person. However, as for your scenario, I don't know why a person who likes gays would work for employers who discriminate against them. They should just quit.

It would depend on company policy. The employee is obviously subject consequences, whether it be termination or just a strict talking-to.

It isn't a matter on anybody being in the wrong. If the business tells you to do or not to do something and you do it anyway. They have the right to fire you

So you could be fired from your job for generating extra income by not discriminating? Also, what about ambiguous situations? For example, worker a serves a gay guy not knowing he's gay (they don't wear signs) and worker b, who knows he's gay, reports him. Should he be fired? Should the workers demand to know the sexuality of each customer? What if someone thinks someone's gay, so refuses to serve them, and they are not gay?

Yes. You could be fired. Your whining doesn't change that.
