So...um...why exactly would the gay couple want to force a company that doesn't want to do business with them to do so? Why would they want to give that company money? Never quite understood that.
They don't. Maybe if you read the link before commenting you would know this.
“We were just like, ‘OK…’” says Kennedy. “Then we went to our next dress appointment.”
Later that afternoon, Julie Ann posted about the experience on Facebook. “I’ll gladly take my money somewhere else, when a business won’t allow you to try on wedding dresses simply because you’re gay,” she wrote, tagging the bridal store.

That's why they need a big sign on the door door that says who they will and will not serve.
The community can make a list of wedding specialist who will serve them. Half the town will start using the list.

No point spending wedding money on lawyers and getting all pissed off.
They're not suing because Pennsylvania doesn't have a law banning discrimination based on sexual orientation. As for the owners being out of business in no time:
"This is the second time that W.W. Bridal Boutique has been involved in a discrimination incident, according to PGN. The site reports that in 2014, the owners refused to give an appointment to a lesbian couple, sparking the Bloomsburg town council to propose an LGBT nondiscrimination ordinance, which ultimately did not pass."
Could be the Bloomsburg, PA area is either full of bigots, or, this might be hard to believe, people who respect the shop owners right to follow their religious beliefs.
If you are in business you are in the world of Mammon not the world of Christ. You, according to Mammon, must sell to everyone that can pay.
Yep. Don't let that pesky Freedom of Association thing get in the way, right?
