No, I don't think that's a correct assessment of the Co-op but it's the sort of description you could expect from a group so against homosexuality

I don't see CV (so far) promoting a hateful message which I think you'll agree is a subjective expression. I haven't yet read enough in to their ethos to decide whether or not their stance can truly be considered hateful when many liberals (and I'm not aiming that specifically at you) consider most/any people or groups against homosexuality to be 'hateful'.
The Co-op would have been aware of their views when the account was opened so unless CV had recently undertaken a campaign of violence or crime against homosexuals, I see this as little more than a PR stunt.
