And there was no implication that by producing the slogan they would even be endorsing the cause, just as the case would have been for any other political/social etc slogan, they'd have produced it because it's what the customer wanted and it's the service they were offering - everything from the customers side was in line with the law as well as being what they'd reasonably expect from the business (which includes expecting that the business owners wouldn't consider themselves above the law because of their personal/religious beliefs and free to discriminate at will because of them, which is essentially how they acted and what their defense was).
