As an intellectual exercise, let’s say a heterosexual couple wants a gay photographer to record their wedding. He says no. Why would they take him to court to force him to do the job? Why wouldn’t they say, Okay, we’ll find someone else? The same with cakes or anything else.
I don’t think it took even a few months between the legalization of gay marriage to “you must bake the cake for it, too.”

Actually that lawsuit came BEFORE same sex marriage was legalized.
The state of Colorado itself did not recognize same sex marriage so I don’t see how the state had standing to prosecute the photographer declining to photograph a sham ceremony.
One of the greatest weapons the left has is lawfare. They use it proudly, loudly and often, whereas the right cowers from it.
Can a photographer be forced to photograph a nudist or Satanic wedding?
Or does an artist have the right to reject certain projects?
There are plenty of people who deny their skills, money isn’t the only thing that drives them.
Oliver Stone wouldn’t sign on to direct a film exposing Obama’s crimes at any price. And Joosey Smollett would refuse the work as well.
Used to be printers could reject certain texts or albums that they found offensive and would tell the creator to find someone else to put them out. But more recently I’ve heard of “bake the cake” lawsuits against printshops and t-shirt companies that didn’t want to print political tracts/shirts promoting the homosexual agenda.
