Now whatever you think of sex workers, if this is truly due to the industry in which they work, it's chilling. This is another example of a business being able to discriminate against you because they don't like you. If you think, "well, hur hur, porn stars/sex workers deserve what they get" substitute "tea partier" for "porn star" and see if you still think it's ok.

I agree with your comments Wellie. In all honesty, who died and made Chase Bank the King of morality?
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me. Pastor Martin Niemöller
I was wondering why my bank account was running low. Here is a picture of me in my youth

Now you know the rest of the story ;)

Sorry, my stance is the same as the last time we discussed this topic. If it's a private institution on private land, they have the right to allow or ban whoever they like for whatever reason. Yes, this includes Tea Party members, Democrats, Libertarians, Christians, Pagans, blacks, whites, whatever. Their business will suffer if some of those porn stars bank big money, and more so if people who oppose their bigotry withdraw their funds and take their business elsewhere. If they are willing to take such a hit, fine, it's their money and policy. If they underestimated the backlash and end up losing assets they didn't plan on losing, well they'll have to cope with the consequences of their decision. I'm sure there are plenty of other financial institutions that are perfectly happy to get the porn stars' money and investments at the cost of their competitor.
JMac's quote is a bit off base because Mr. Niemoller was talking about the Nazi-controlled government, not a private entity. Government is obligated to provide non-discriminatory service to all, as it is created by all to serve all. Private entities do not fall under the same umbrella. I know you disagree with this one, Wellie. ;)

Ah but there is the rub Rah, Chase is a publicly held company NOT a private company like lets say, Hobby Lobby.

Oh...I did not know this. I retract my previous statement. :)
