I am yet to reply to Damien's post but if I understand it correctly, the couple were welcome to receive any other goods or service that did not infringe upon the religious rights of the owner. (I'll re-read it and also reply to Damien's post) but they were not denied service / entry from what I know of the case.

When you said "religious liberty (deeply held beliefs) will trump all else" I assumed you meant in a broader sense. If you just meant it in relation to people's religious objections to do business with LGBT people, fair enough.

Basically if someone promotes a cause to such an extent that they are a political one trick pony they pretty much prostitute themselves for the cause...how would you word it? Like Farage was opposed to the EU all his life and still is, Ken Clarke is pro EU but I would never say that calling Clarke "a Eurowhore" is an acceptable turn of phrase, would I? In that instance euro based terms (skeptic and phillic) have been used as a phrase of term, correct?
I don't know how to describe someone that is so obsessed on the one issue that the central plank of their life becomes it but reasonable people can differ on the issue. If you are in favor, you could say that you are fighting for equality. Opposed you could say that you are fighting for religious liberty but when it gets to the obsession that say NARAL / PP have with abortion yet you encompass a broader (entire) political spectrum to it, what do you call it?
Again the language was confusing at best and had elements of vulgarity but I am at a loss to the words to use here, the outward behavior to try _____ for homosexuality - you fill in the blanks and we'll see where this leads?

Just because someone is passionate about their rights doesn't make them a "whore". Expand to "gay whore" and do a web search for this and you enter a whole new realm
Your use of a derogatory term just deflects from your argument, bit of an own goal really ..
