I just think, bottom line.. dont go in to public service if youre not prepared to serve all of the public. Expect a fine if you are likely to discriminate against certain groups for whatever reason.
But also, to give credit to your side of the argument, I wouldnt be surprised if the judge used the couple to make an example of them and their crime. The story was already very public before the fine, and the large figure would definitely send a message to lots of business owners. Maybe there was more depth to the judges decision.

Agreed and also agreed about the judge making an example of them too. It just seems...unfair. Mind, the business has hardly been punished for it given they have a surplus themselves of 300k+ from gofundme donations. So the precedent seems to be...do what the **** you like, your community will back you up AND whether the victim or the villain in the story, you will get a huge payout
