1 /5 Sarah Calles: This store might look like a cozy, community-friendly spot on the outside—but don’t be fooled. If you’re part of the LGBTQ+ community, or even just an ally, the energy here speaks volumes. Subtle exclusion, judgmental attitudes, and choices send a clear message about who’s “welcome” and who isn’t. Discrimination doesn’t always come with a sign on the door.
It’s 2025—businesses should be embracing diversity, not pushing it away. I believe in supporting local, but not at the cost of supporting discrimination. We all deserve to feel welcome in the places we spend our money. There are plenty of other places that truly value kindness and equality. This one isn’t it.
