Though to reiterate I don't think this should be a legal issue. I do think they deserve to go out of business for their prejudice but I'd prefer it to be the old fashioned way; through poor word of mouth and being boycotted for being homophobic, rather than the courts getting involved.

I worry though that a lot of people actually wouldn't be bothered enough for bad word of mouth to have any kind of impact on their business... if this hadn't gone through the courts would many people even have heard about it? Sure there might have been a facebook post that picked up some traction or something but I doubt there'd have been any lasting impact, in fact it would probably have drawn a lot of people to them (judging by their 'go fund me'). In an ideal world I'd agree but surely one of the reasons we have courts is to stop discrimination because being left to themselves, people like this and certain communities would just perpetuate it and it would get worse, not better, on it's own?
