Except freedom of expression means otherwise, there is no way people who decide to take up issues of a service provider or product developer with the authorities would not be seen as victimization.

Refer to the case in the link where a baker had to get to the Supreme Court before narrowly asserting his rights to engage or not engage a customer’s customization requirements in a free market. These are the precedents that are invigorating more religious individuals to assert their rights early before evil get called good, and good gets called evil, at least according to their beliefs.

Also notice that a regular purchase will not be affected as the service provider has no way of knowing who buys his generic products. The issue is when customization is required. And like every creative, the imagination and intellectual capacity of the provider is engaged to produce the desired results. But if the religious beliefs of the provider will be impacted, perhaps even affecting his mental health, then he can decline to offer that extra service of customization. This is where the right to engage or not engage is solely the provider’s.

There was no attempt to force anything. She was the one who brought the case to the Supreme Court preemptively, nobody attempted to victimise her. She wasn't even a website designerwhen she brought the suit.

Of course any workman can reject work but when you begin to make it known that you reject work based on religion what do you think that does to the fabric of a multi religious society? Do you think we need more of these kinds of divisive issues?

Besides it's ridiculous to say that LGBTQ folk should only be served by other LGBTQ folk, sexual orientation is not something one places a sign on the forehead and walk about with. How does it make sense for a waiter or a cashier to be concerned with the sexual orientation of the person they are serving? I have never heard a Christian say I won't buy an Apple product because the CEO is guy and my money is going to be part of what pays his salary. How do you even know if the bread you bought this money is paying some LGBTQ person? This case is just an arbitrary point for discrimination to make yourselves feel good about your religion.

You are a liar like your father the devil. This lady is not interested in creating marriage announcements because same-sex couples would be "inconsistent" with her Christian beliefs. Her job is very peculiar. It has to do with speech, publicity, PR, updating the web. Why should a Christian be forced to build and maintain a gay website. It directly connects with her having to propagate LGBTQ messages and pictures etc. Stop this your snake behavior.
The job is different from general work that doesn't touch on LGBTQ. A waiter, cook, driver, production company can do things generally for thousands and millions of people. It's same product to everyone, not a gay website. Use this God given brain reed.

America was founded on Godly principles. So no one should shove perversion down people's throats.

Upholding my Godly beliefs shouldn't be erroneously tagged as a form of discrimination.
Godly principle that made them to kill the natives, right?

You tried to counter America's build on Godly principles then I'm asking you why they swear allegiance to God.
(Godly, not Christian)
Remember we're talking about America not any other.

Swearing allegiance to God which other countries do doest translate to Godly principles

Yeah original American laws were in accordance with Godly principles,it only changed because of the evil democrats wokeness and agendas.

But some states especially republican-led states still uphold Godly doctrines and principles. They may be fallible and have lots of bad eggs but they're the closest we have to morality.

American politicians still pledge overall loyalty to the supreme being regardless.

Anti abortion (some states)
Anti gay (some states)
Anti discrimination (some states)
Anti inequality/segregation (All states)
Anti hate. (All states)
Pro church (most states)

Remember this Godly principles are mostly attributed to conservative republicans who are mostly the arbiter and upholder of Godly moral values.

In a landmark decision, the US Supreme Court has ruled that businesses can discriminate against gays for religious reasons. This contentious ruling has raised questions about the balance between religious freedom and anti-discrimination laws. Businesses are now permitted to deny services to individuals based on their sexual orientation, citing religious beliefs as justification. The decision has sparked heated debates and has significant implications for LGBTQ+ rights and civil liberties in the United States.
