I set the fee. I decide the service. I am not a slave who can be required to do what I choose not to do.

We agree completely. In the last two years that I was willing to work (political polling) for liberals, I charged them more than triple what I charged decent people. Rather oddly, they actually paid because they liked the quality of my work. Since then, I stopped working for them completely, and then retired. I set my own rates, and I decide whether I have time for a new commission and from whom.

With a custom baker (or wedding photographer), the situation is exactly the same. In the terrible political climate of today, a decent person has two choices. One can lie (there is no moral issue with lying to those who are evil), or one can stand on principle and accept the extremely unpleasant consequences while working to restore freedom. I have no objection to accepting a perverted commission with the intent of cancelling at the last minute due to a personal conflict, health, unforeseen circumstances, or some other excuse, to avoid these lawsuits. I also have no problem with accepting the fines after a long and painful fight in court, so long as the money extorted in illegitimate fines does not go to the perverted bullies.
