    One day people will learn that being LGBTQIA is as ordinary as the sunrise.

    "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" Matthew 7:3

    Honestly, I'd just correct the letter and hand it right back. Aside from the P.S., I'm sure the quote from that letter applies just as much to him.

    North Carolina. Southern states in particular seem to have a recurring problem with business owners making the odd business decision of refusing to serve certain customers judged to be undesirable.

    53 years ago national attention was drawn to Greensboro, North Carolina when black college students staged a sit-in at a "whites only" lunch counter until they finally agreed to serve black customers.

    You think by now business owners would figure out that even if they are personally bigoted, they should keep their mouths shut and realize that the paying customer is always right.

    A customer in a capitalist system has to pretty much be part of a hate group before it makes sense to deny them service. Why limit the money you make off of these people just because you don't like who they are?

    Wish someone is the area arranged such a sit in. Where gay people in groups would go there, order only cheap stuff, and sit there making out for hours. That would serve him right. God, I wish I lived there! I would drag my girlfriend there, just so that we could piss him off :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Sometimes I can be a bit... gleeful :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    All is right until last few words. Not true, the customer is NOT always right, and in USA the owner has a right to refuse service to anyone, and also a right to not accept their patronage. Example is when a "customer" comes to counter and said they found a shirt on a table which is 50% off, don't matter that a previous customer laid it there too lazy to put it in correct spot when they decided they didn't want it, oh no...they scream they are always right! Well, they can go right back out the door, as I would never give it to them. Don't have to. It is not a law.

    I liked the way the article edited his poor grammar in brackets.
