I think he's foolish to decline money. You can't afford that in independent food service. But his business, not mine.
It is the gay community's business, though. If you allow one person to make a blatantly discriminatory code of practice, you must allow everyone. Where will you draw the line? What kind of services aren't then allowed to be blatantly discriminatory?
And it may become your business if you find yourself in a group arbitrarily being discriminated against in the future, because it's allowed to stand.
It may not be a problem at the moment, but it wasn't that long ago things were really bad from this point of view. I'm sure there are some people who would still like to bring it back, if we allow them to. To some people, being bigoted may be worth the loss of earnings. I wouldn't want to put that to the test.
I don't mean to come off as aggressive, I only mean to debate in a friendly way I'm not accusing you of trying to bring back the dark ages.
