Right, the organization's name is what they disagree with i.e. their existence. Had the shirt said "Being gay is the way" or "Support gay sex" I'd give them a pass but they are saying because their organization is about being gay we disagree with their message. That is a no no.
As to did they refuse to serve them, the answer is yes. Printing is part of their business meaning they refused part of their business offering to a specific group based on their sexual orientation. How would printing the shirts be endorsing it with their name brand? Does the printer put their name on the shirts they print? If so, would not putting it on these shirts be a reasonable accommodation? I don't see how selling them the shirts wouldn't be any more an endorsement then printing them if in both cases no one knows who sold/printed them.
