The baker's lawyers are arguing that a customized cake is a form of personal artistic expression, and that punishing a business for refusing to provide such an item amounts to compelled speech.

That is trivially true. The first amendment forbids the government from suppressing free speech, but the moral principle of a liberty to engage in free expression exists prior to the first amendment in the same way as the right to life is p

There is a line to be drawn distinguishing between a toxic ideology, and an active conspiracy to commit a definite crime. They are at least notionally distinct.

Believing NAMBLA'a propaganda is a thought crime. By contrast, actually viewing indecent images of children involves participating in a crime committed by the creator of those images. Similarly, the demented ravings of The Daily Storme

The article does give an example of how it works in Spanish. There is an audio sample linked of the sentence 'En todo el mundo hay hombres que hablan silbando' being whistled. https://soundcloud.com/bbc_com/en

The Unicode letters could be darker, which would still be visible if you are color blind. If the highlighted characters were not ones that would be expected to be represented by Unicode, i.e. if they were not special characters or diacritic
