Episode 11 - Would Apostle Paul Make a Tent for a Gay Wedding?

Would the Apostle Paul build a Tent for a Gay Wedding?
The heart of this question is something I've been wrestling with for a while, but more so in recent years. I run a non-religious design and marketing agency and have served clients from all backgrounds regardless of their faith, or sexual orientation. I have historically turned down projects that are obviously in contradiction with my values. However, as I proceed in business the gray area seems to get wider as businesses and organizations become more and more liberal and openly sin-affirming in their core beliefs.
I wrestle with the question - should I continue doing marketing and creating content for businesses who will likely use what I create for an agenda I disagree with? If I build a website for an insurance company (hypothetically speaking) that puts their statement about gay inclusion and intersectionality training on their About Us page, am I compromising? Or do I serve them as unto God and not assume unnecessary liability for what they may do with what I create for them?
Would Apostle Paul make a tent for someone after learning that it would be given as a gift to a homosexual couple at their wedding? Would he appeal to his words in 1 Corinthians 8:8
“[this] will not make us acceptable to God. We are not inferior if we don’t [do business], and we are not better if we do...”
I don't have a quick and easy answer, but I have three principles to suggest:
1) Be thoughtful. Don't settle for knee-jerk reactions to complex questions, and don't assume most questions are not complex.
2) Be consistent. Draw out implications and scenarios that are different, yet similar to the predicament you're facing and ask yourself "am I acting with consistency?"
3) Operate from Faith. Anything that is not done in faith is sin. Whatever you do, do it as unto God for the purpose of bringing Him glory.
I'd love to hear your feedback, pushback, or questions.
