Like I said. In many rural areas there is only one decent bakery in a town, and even in larger towns minorities should not be forced to spend their money at second rate establishment just because the most popular one discriminates.
Where I live capitalism would work AGAINST a business that served gays because the majority would shun them and put them out of business. When Chik-fil-a came out against gays in this area their business went UP instead of down.
The only reason chik-fil-a business went up is because of the calls for a boycott. If there was no call for a boycott, their business would have gone down due to people who used to go there would have just stopped because they don't like their beliefs.
I have never eaten at that restaurant and most likely never will since there isn't one close and I think they are overpriced.
