Out of all the florists in the Seattle area they couldn't find one that is gay and will serves their own kind?

She should be protected by the First Amendment.

But instead, a gay couple can have someone else forced to make flowers for them against their conscience, but they can also force that person to pay for their entire wedding.

In the old days wasn't that called extortion?

Extortion

Extortion (also called shakedown, outwrestling "penal pump" , and exaction) is a criminal offense of obtaining money, property, or services from a person, entity, or institution, through coercion. Refraining from doing harm is sometimes euphemistically called protection. Extortion is commonly practiced by organized crime groups. The actual obtainment of money or property is not required to commit the offense. Making a threat of violence which refers to a requirement of a payment of money or property to halt future violence is sufficient to commit the offense. Exaction refers not only to extortion or the unlawful demanding and obtaining of something

10 to 1 the homos went out looking for someone who would NOT make them florist who would not supply flowers, just like homos who went out looking for a bakery which would not make them a cake.
