Well as my niece is in a same-sex relationship, her and many of her friends would never go near the place, even if it was that or nothing.

As would I.

And that is as it should be - personal choice.

Nobody should be permitted a right to inflict their own views on others.

They may or may not insist their employees are vegan (though that might not be legal) but they will expect employees to toe the line and be sufficiently in sympathy with the company’s aims and objectives to be able to do their jobs, whether that be product design, communication, sales or marketing or whatever.

Yeah, good point about the vegan thing although I think that is then part of that company branding in a way this objection to gay marriage isn't but I can see the company having an ethos.
