Re: AWS now liable?

But it's my press, so I am allowed to reject any contract if I don't agree with the message I am asked to print.

As a private individual, yes you are allowed to reject any contract.

But if you run a business, depending on which state or country you're in, you're not free to do so without breaking the law. As an example, there have been multiple cases both in the US and Europe where companies refusing to decorate a cake with a same sex marriage message for religious reasons have been found guilty of sexual discrimination. Likewise, here in the UK, if you run a bed & breakfast and you refuse to allow a couple to stay on the grounds that they are gay, you will be guilty of sexual discrimination in the eyes of the law.
