The irony is this is a variant of the same argument made in the gay cake case, but with the political partisanship reversed. The notable difference in that case is that sexual orientation is a protected characteristic.

The other far more notable difference is the baker didn't own all the cake shops.

Eh I don’t buy this.

FB isn’t the internet and there are a lot of social media companies with social media apps.

The protected characteristic is the relevant bit.

And the "gay cake case" would also be closer to not just providing cork board space for people to stick pins and messages in; but also to require the engineers or CEO herself to write down the words that they put on the bulletin board, after they're orated to her.
