Short of finding an identifiable body part or major organ in my food, I would take it up with the manager of the store, ask for my money back and go about my day. The only ones I might notify would be the Health Department. Of what interest would it be to the global audience reachable through FB or other social media. Let the authorities handle it, not the public at large. Get a life!
Do you know that the proprietor initiated the conversation about these particular women's sexual preferences? Do you know that she didn't? I've never been asked by any business where my tastes lie in such areas.
The worst she can be reasonably be accused of is being a poor businesswoman. And if that's true, her business will naturally fail over time without the assistance or prodding of those with an agenda to change the world's attitudes through the use of coercion.
And if the owner told you no and to get lost? Then what? Of course you have to be aware of news stories like this in the past, an easy Google search would shoe that to you.
Also, the shop owner's bigotry shouldn't stand in the way of making twice the money from two brides needing dresses, that is just stupid of the owner.

My statement stands. I would notify the Health Department. Had they become aggressive I'd notify the police to let them know I was the one who dealt a beat down. Other than that, would I make a public scandal over the cost of a meal? I really couldn't be bothered as I've better things to do. As I said, let the authorities deal with it, and again, get a life where the interactions of people you don't know aren't of such concern.

Well some people would be upset enough to notify the media, even if you couldn't be bothered to do such a thing. I am sure you would dissuade anyone from going there.
Shouldn't people in a free country have the right to chose who they do business with? To argue othersise seems to imply they are slaves to customers. If this was the only bridal shop in PA, I could see it being an issue. But it isn't. So just go to another one if you are a lesbian. Problem solved. If a store didn't want to serve me because i'm a white guy, I'd be more than happy not to give them my money.
exactly right people choose where to shop because of bigoted held views EXAMPLE* walmart .hobby lobby * why cant the business owner have the same choice ??
I shop at Walmart b/c of low prices. I'm not sure where you are getting bigotry from but I'm guessin I don't want to know. lol Your hobby lobby example doesn't work. That was about religious freedom.
The Bible is pretty tough on homosexuality so I'm always surprised that people are surprised that some Christians are opposed to gay marriage. They see homosexuality as a sin. To say they can't see it that way is to argue there is no freedom of religion.
Im not religious
im not gay
i believe in freedom to choice your own lifestyle /religion .
i support the right of those who own business to serve ONLY those it chooses to, for WHATEVER REASON same as a person can choose to NOT shop at walmart FOR WHAT EVER REASON
same right for all freedom to choose libertarian
lifestyle A way of life that reflects the attitude and VALUES of a group or person . Look it up yourself if your stlil not sure .
So why did you post that homosexuality is a 'lifestyle' then?
