The issue with Big Tech is that:
(1) They can't be sued (read: your case would be dismissed) for any of their decisions, because of Section 230.
(2) They are also not a common carrier, and not subject to those restrictions.
Essentially they get many of the benefits of being a common carrier, but without being a common carrier and having the associated obligations.
That's the difference between Big Tech and bakeries. Big Tech could literally object to all LGBT content on their platform and because of Section 230, your case would be dismissed.
Bakeries don't have anywhere near the amount of freedom as Big Tech enjoys from Section 230.
