I'm not saying this is a wise move, but let's be consistent.

Many people think it's not a crime for a bakery to reject same-sex couple wedding cake orders. You know, free enterprise and capitalism.

If so, why is this faith-eroding?

Not remotely similar. Banks are gov’t regulated. Bakeries are artisans.

Because one will get sued to oblivion and the other gets a free pass.

Here's my consistency. It's about market share. A mom-and-pop store can do what it likes. But an enterprise with vast resources and market share (Chase, Amazon, VISA, Facebook, Twitter) should be treated like utilities. Their services should be open to all.

How big is too big? We can figure out the details later.

A one-store bakery is private property. But Chase should be treated as a public utility.

What I always think is crazy is IF I was a gay couple looking to get married would I really want someone who did not want to forced to make me a cake?
There might be some “special ingredients” added to the batter or frosting.

Kind of like pissing off the chef or waiter/waitress at the restaurant PRIOR to getting your food served. Just not a good idea.
