4. Years ago when the bakery case was on the news

a woman I networked, who was a small business owner, & basically a nice person, but not political, asked me, "Why shouldn't a business owner be able to say they don't want to do business with certain people?" And I said, "Is that really where you want to live? In a town, where you walk down main street & one shop has a sign that says no gays, & another has a sign that says no blacks & another one a sign that says no women?" She took a second & to her credit, said, "No. I don't want to live there. I hadn't thought of it that way." Years later, she hosted & celebrated her daughter's wedding to her wife in her backyard.
