Whether or not his vocal support for traditional marriage is ethical or unethical is for his customers to decide not our elected office holders...and that applies to all protected speech.
This seems right to you, does it?
Because as someone who studied applied business I can tell you this qualifies as extremely unethical.
That would be an adequate answer if I had asked as question relating to the mayor. I did not.
Let me phrase it a different way. Do you consider it acceptable that anyone elected or unelected use their business as a platform for a political or religious agenda to be shoved down their customers throats as opposed to following the simple process of supply and demand which is what the customers pay for.
Is it not a severe violation of the obligation between supplier and consumer to provide an unbiased service to a market in demand of it?
Does this conduct not qualify as severely unethical?
