A florist isn't getting married by selling a wedding bouquet. Nixing that theory.
He's being compelled by law, to support with his labor, talents, and other resources, that which is overtly immoral. Any excuses notwithstanding, this is absolutely not an acceptable or justifiable use if government power.
Cake doesn't have moral implications. Its just cake. If your religion makes doing your job impossible, find a job that's more conducive to your religion.
The First Amendment is supposed to protect us from this sort of abuse.
The first amendment doesn't grant you immunity from any law you find 'immoral'. You're offering us a religious sovereign citizen argument, where the only laws that apply to you are the ones you agree do.
That's not our system of law nor ever has been.
Nor does anything you've raised have the slightest relevance to gays and lesbians being allowed to marry. No one is being forced to enter into a same sex marriage.
