It most assuredly is not, and you damn well better run, not walk, but RUN from that train of thought.

It most assuredly is a free speech issue, and you "damned well better run" from opposing the First Amendment. I find this train of thought tiring, in which libertarians habitually argue against their own interests.

In a free market utopia, there would be no need for laws, or governments, or taxes, or the First Amendment. But we live in reality, not Ayn Rand-land.

There is a long, established legal history in the United States of regulatory law, tax law, anti-trust law, competition law, and First Amendment law, and leftists should be forced to play by their own rules, whether or not the system containing those rules is ideal.

The Christian baker in Colorado is a small business owner. He certainly pays significant taxes, like all small business owners. His business is unquestionably a private company. He has not received any tax breaks or subsidies from the government. They have literally tried to shut him down and put him out of business.

Further, that's not a public forum or public accommodation issue. It's a freedom of religion issue, and a freedom of association issue. He has not kicked anyone out of his cake shop for saying they're gay, or refused to serve anyone for being gay, but only refused to make certain types of cakes, for anyone.

Multinational big tech corporations that receive giant government tax breaks/subsidies, with vast social media platforms, are essentially public forums, and if found to be public forums by the court system, would not be allowed to violate First Amendment free speech rights.

Frankly, comparing an individual American small business owner who has been religiously persecuted by the state for refusing to bake certain types of cakes, but not refusing to serve a single customer, and a giant multinational corporation that is given money and preferential treatment by the government, yet censors everyone they disagree with, including the president, is beyond absurd.
