If a company can discriminate based on political affiliation and political beliefs, other companies should be allowed to discriminate freely. Ie: A Christian baker should be allowed to refuse to bake a gay marriage cake.

Competition Counts is a non-technical overview of how the FTC’s Bureau of Competition protects free enterprise and American consumers.
What if there were only one grocery store in your community? What if you could buy a phone from only one retailer? What if only one dealer in your area sold cars?
Without competition, the grocer may have no incentive to lower prices. The phone shop may have no reason to offer a range of choices. The car dealer may have no motivation to keep its showroom open at convenient hours or offer competitive financing.
Competition in America is about price, selection, and service. It benefits consumers by keeping prices low and the quality and choice of goods and services high. Competition also encourages businesses to offer new and better products.
