I don't think that's an accurate analogy. An accurate analogy would be forcing someone to officiate a gay wedding.

To take an extreme example, I actually don't think someone selling cake to concentration camp guards is guilty of anything - but someone selling fenceposts, guns, gas and census software(cough IBM) is complicit.

I'd argue selling a wedding cake is actually more involved than selling cloud compute time or office software if that is what is at stake in Microsoft's case, and which is really generic by nature.

I have more reserves on the concentration camp analogy. I don't think the shoah should be pulled in every debate.
