Texas judge who doesn’t want to perform gay marriage ceremonies hopes web designer’s Supreme Court case helps her fight https://www.texastribune.org/2023/07/12/texas-judge-gay-weddings-supreme-court/
A state actor discriminating against a LBGTQ couple is not the same as a private actor doing so. First, the Free Speech Clause interests in speech are much weaker when the speech is not purely private. Second, as state action, the Equal Protection Clause is triggered.
I wrote an essay about it: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2965773
