If they don't want to deal with queers - or anyone else for that matter - they have the right to refuse. The First Amendment says we have freedom to associate.

"Were I posting, I would commend the Farbers for standing by their principles in an age where money trumps all. They might, however, consider climbing up one more rung on the moral ladder." Hopefully that gives the words more context. Maybe he *is* being sarcastic. It wasn't clear to me, but what do I know...

Mr. Casey thought they were stupid for their actions.
