30 years ago, my Mom started a florist business in Lubbock, Tx. Early on, a gay couple walked in and asked her if she would do the flowers for their civil union ceremony. "Of Course!", she said. And that led to a very lucrative business for her, as she was the only florist in Lubbock that would openly serve the gay community. The people at her church chastised her for what she was doing, but they never refused what money she put in the offering plate.
