One problem with the Judge's statement is that it is beyond the scope of an actual case or controversy. A Judge should judge each case individually not make up general rules and policies to prospectively apply to future behaviour, since that is for the legislature and executive in a separation of powers system. If the Judge wants to issue a warning or punishment to a particular prosecutor for a particular inappropriate behavior that would be in bounds; but media statements designed to influence elections are out of bounds for american judicial behavior.

Is this a success in health education; or a failure to put dinner on the table?

We seem to have a freedom to choose who we would be employed by; i.e. turn down an offer of employment for moral reasons; say I don't want to work for some animal testing lab.

But say I own a restaurant and a animal testing lab moves to town; now do I have a choice but to serve dinner to the executives of said animal testing lab?

What is the difference?

Per U.S. law; I think you would first need to establish 'sexual orientation' as a protected class like race or gender; to allow people to decide that they don't want to serve people based on some moral judgments but not others.
