I am not from the US but the core issue wasn't actually solved. There was also another case files against him around a similar issue.

I find it hard to believe that this was a spontaneous event in light of previous events.

It worries me greatly that speech could be compelled. In the UK a very similar case was brought against bakers here and there was a decisive decision in favour of the baker.

It's quite interesting because conservatives in the U.S. are simultaneously attempting to compel tech companies to host content against their will but at the same time they are trying to argue that these cake / flower / website makers don't need to make content against their will.

The difference is that the tech companies between them control a huge amount of online communications. The bakers, florists and small web-developers don't.
