I realize that there is a difference between a cake and a website, but you can 'poison' a website too.
I sure wouldn't want any product made by someone I forced them to make.

DENVER (AP) — A U.S. appeals court has ruled against a web designer who didn’t want to create wedding websites for same-sex couples and sued to challenge Colorado’s anti-discrimination law, another twist in a series of court rulings nationwide about whether businesses denying services to LGBTQ people amounts to bias or freedom of speech.

There used to be a right called “liberty of contract”.
Today, you can’t have a contract with a wage below the minimun wage.
Yep, any words after NO will get you in trouble. You owe no explanation.
No, at least in the first case. See my post above. The problem is that being a homosexual has been equated to race of ethnicity. If being a NeoNazi was likewise treated as such then they anseer to your first question would be yes.
But a Muslim (esp.) or a Jewish person could sue a Christian for refusing to create a special work for the express purpose of celebrating something Jewish, for that would fall under the equal rights criteria, versus simply ideological. And to be consistent, a Christian should be able to sue any web designer who refused to serve Christians in creating a work for the express purpose of expressing the faith. But on the track that the likes of FB is on, then conservative evangelicals teaching the Bible could be censored under the premise that The Ministry of Truth has determined that evolution is a fact, and homosexual relations are sacrosanct, and thus Biblical Truth would be treated as anti-vaccers are. FB would argue that the censorship is merely ideological, however, expressing the faith is something one is "born" (spiritually) to do, and thus it is a denial of expression, as is not recognizing homosexual marriage in the jaundiced eyes of so many courts. then the web site

God’s Word says:
“Their women exchanged the normal practices of sexual intercourse for something which is abnormal and unnatural.
Similarly the men, turning from natural intercourse with women, were swept into lustful passions for one another. Men with men performed these shameful horrors, receiving, of course, in their own personalities the consequences of sexual perversity.”
(New Testament, Romans 1:26,27)
Utterly stupid. Her product’s value is predicated on her personal commitent to quality. She can easily sell a $5. product with no integrity and include in it her personal ethical position. That is her work product. Pay for it or walk away.She is under no obligation to do more.
2 timothy 3:1-5 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
No, and no. Nazis and anti-gay people are not protected classes under current anti-discrimination laws.
Unfortunately the American legal system isn’t based on ration thought or logical arguments.
I think you have the best idea. Given the current environment and the fact that all of this fighting back talk is just talk, I don’t see a better way to handle this.

I suspect that a membership model may be required to temporarily assert the freedoms. In that model, there are products that are offered to the general public. These would be generic with non-controversial messages. Custom services will require a paid membership ($1) and a signed membership form that specifically states that the membership can be revoked at any time, for any reason and that any custom service can be provided or refused at the sole decision of the business.
I am also of the opinion that the only means of correcting this is that the citizens will need to restrict “public use” laws to publicly held corporations and not to private business.
