Obviously it is more than a blip, since the shop owner has closed down their Facebook page and their web site due to the comments she has received. The story is all over the national media. She has also gone form open for business to open only on appointment.
You enjoy this and are dancing in the streets. You accomplished your goal of silencing somebody who dared to disagree with you and your agenda.
You do not own the store yet you dictate how they conduct business and have the gall to stipulate who can and can not open a store for business unless they please you and your kind approves.

Assume a lot, don't ya?
No one was silenced they still have the right to shoot off their mouth just like you do, I see you have no trouble saying whatever pops into your head, so stop the whining.
If they sell her a dress......and the businesses has a loss this year....does the lesbian (or, any customer ) have to pay more???
Obviously not in this instance, because the business owner was silly enough to turn down her money and send her away.
If they are operating at a loss then yes they charge more - not retroactively of course, don't be ridiculous. (If they have a loss continually then they need to get the eff out of the business before they screw everyone including their landlord). They raise their prices to sufficiently cover their overhead. A business always covers their overhead in their pricing - or should at least be attempting to. They need sufficient margin to operate. Margin which come in the form of markup to the consumer.
Or, perhaps they're at a loss because they're at full market price but they can't attract enough custom, because they suck at marketing (hint - this isn't good for business).
So, if they're turning customers away based on personal beliefs and not sound business practice, perhaps they should sell wedding dresses as a hobby, to people that please them - then they won't chance getting so offended by their customers that they refuse to do their job, and they won't have to worry about all that pesky profit/loss thing.
Are you not rejoicing that you accomplished your goal of shutting down somebody who does not nor ever will agree with you? You all must be ecstatic. Keep in mind that the court of public opinion is squarely on the side of the shop keepers. Just some food for thought that the next little darlings should remember next time they set out to destroy someone's livelihood which I am sure they are just itching to do.
I like the First Amendment it shall remain as is especially the part about religion and the right to practice. The religion part is what bothers you though. Tough, deal with it.
AMENDMENT I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof
No, this is the invisible hand of the market smacking business owners hard.
They made the decision to not serve a potential customer. The customer informed the public and the public is reacting by not frequenting the business. This is the free market solution to a poor business decision.
Are you saying that there should be no consequences for poor decision making?
Nope. Every other normal person who visits the store, unlike you people, doesn't throw a hissy fit and go on public media and shut down the store when they don't have what they want. Perhaps it is time for the general public to start encroaching on the homosexual establishments where you all congregate such as lesbian bars and other assorted hangouts. You people have set an example for complaining that the general public will emulate .Watch the complaints fly when somebody's drink didn't arrive as fast or in the same condition as the regulars. Or perhaps the bouncer needlessly hassled the straight individual when she didn't a regular. There are many many ways this is going to fall back on you. Just keep pushing.
And they will know that I am not gay because.........................
Nothing is going to fall back on me (or you) - I am not threatened by people who are different from me.
You see demons where there are none. Just people trying to live their lives and marry and love who they love (which is LEGAL in PA)
And buy a dress - which is also legal.
