The coin definitely flips both ways.
I very much admire Chick-fil-A and Hobby Lobby for taking the conservative stands they have, but I know they lost a lot of left-leaning customers because of doing so.
The phrase, "Shut up and sing" comes to mind. Consumers are interested in the products and services that businesses and entertainers provide to them, and are more than willing to pay good money to have them.
What turns them off, is when a business or entertainer steps outside the bounds of that relationship and takes a public stand which they disagree with.
First thanks for the refreshing honest conversation.
Second with what you said about an entertainer stepping out of bounds, what I find confusing is that it wasn’t like DD people came out and said they were for gay marriage. They simply attended the correspondence dinner on behalf of CBN no less. They didn’t take a stand, all they did was attend a function he was at. For all we know they decided to go and talk about their beliefs and see if they could help change any minds. That’s the troubling part to me.
