Who is banning companies?
what company has been banned?

Explicitly?

Prostitution (most places)
Uber
Liquor stores (dry counties)

Anything that would compete with state-established monopolies, such as:
Mail service
Cable (in most places)
Utilities (in a lot of places)

Implicitly banned businesses are harder to identify. A lot of businesses exist at the whims of local boards and regulators. It's difficult to point to one specifically because if they are banned by regulators, they simply cease to exist (or never exist in the first place) and if banned by a local board, it’s usually done before being opened. These bannings tend to be very quiet as for most businesses a new location isn't worth a drag out fight with the local board. Wal-Mart and Chick-fil-a have been publicized targets for being prevented from opening local stores. Anything ‘adult’ oriented is another frequent target. Then there are issues where a business hasn’t been totally banned, but complying with the existing law is prohibitively complicated/expensive which effectively bans the business. Why can’t I get beer delivered with my pizza? Because it has been effectively banned by regulation.

Oh, and lets not forget strangulation techniques like Operation Choke Point, which will shut a business down by fiat without requiring any of those irritating things like following the law or due process.

Operation Choke Point
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Operation Choke Point is an initiative of the United States Department of Justice that was announced in 2013,[1] which is investigating banks in the United States and the business they do with payment processors, payday lenders, and other companies believed to be at higher risk for fraud and money laundering.

This operation, disclosed in August 2013 Wall Street Journal story [2] has been accused of bypassing due process.; the government is pressuring the financial industry to cut off the companies' access to banking services, without first having shown that the targeted companies are violating the law.[3][4][5][6] As reported by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, critics believe "it's a thinly veiled ideological attack on industries the Obama administration doesn't like, such as gun sellers and coal producers."[7]

Ive addressed this before. THis is NOT a discussion of adult and illegal activities, drugs, prostitution (which I hasten to add are regulated because of largely morals/obscenity).
And have been "banned" for decades, NOT suddenly. ANd certainly not because of what has been happening since gay marriage was announced.

trying to put planned parenthood out of business isn't good in my opinion, but removal of state funding is. My 2 cents.

There are the Dixie Chicks who spoke their mind and there were those who sought to silence them. That is without getting into the history of fascists in other places around the globe. Include that sort of thing and I would be here all day and still just barely scratch the surface.

Conservative & religious groups have called for boycotts on JC Penney for hiring Ellen as a spokesperson, on Target for disallowing the Salvation Army to collect donations in front of their stores (that one worked, and now they have a strong partnership), Starbucks for supporting gay marriage, Lowe's caved in and pulled commercials for a TLC show about a moderate Muslim family after a boycott was started, and let's not forget the Southern Baptists boycotting Disney for damn near a decade, for promoting a 'gay agenda'.

Are conservatives the only ones allowed to use their money as speech? Or speech as speech?

Government has a right to avoid promoting businesses on their property that they feel are not conducive to local laws and policies.

A representative or attorney for the company could easily answer any questions the city has about company policies that would effect its employees, customers, and the community at large.

Of course, I said all of that in your other thread.

Let's point out that local politics is rarely what it's made out to be. This could be as simple as a city counselor's cousin wanting the space for a franchise of their own. Or another company promising a more lucrative deal for the airport.
