By law, the requirement exists, but its also possible that demands could be made for goods and services strictly as harassment and intimidation. For instance, custom pastries and floral arrangements for people and groups hostile to the people providing the service, which goes way beyond simply extending the reciprocal courtesy of not requesting something from someone who in good concience feels they cannot provide the service.
How should this be adjudicated?

Harassment like you describe certainly wrong, if and when it happens. But at least the harassed providers would get paid. If the whole thing stops being an issue, the motivation for any such harassment goes away, I think. Don't think we need to complicate the law here.
