A guy who makes signs wouldn't make a sign saying, "Blacks are bad and kill them Nazi power is the best" for anyone. He would simply have a policy that he wouldn't produce offensive messages on his signs. Whether or not it's a Nazi buying it is irrelevant.
But if someone asked him to make a, "Wedding this way!" sign and he agreed, but then he refused to make the exact same thing for a gay couple, then he's discriminating. He'd have to refuse to make such a sign for anyone, for whatever reason, to avoid discrimination.
PS: I imagine some cogs spinning, and some people are thinking a sign saying "Gay wedding this way" could be considered offensive to some bigoted Christian sign seller guy. The important thing would be whether he would make that sign for anyone at all, not who is buying it. He could reserve the right to only produce messages he personally "approves", but he can't reserve the right to choose which people can have which messages.
