1.) Some parts of the country would in unison shut down minority and LGBT people overnight without a shred of guilt. People would be fired immediately and services would be refused...

entire hick towns would just (censored) people overnight and probably have a drink to celebrate about it. This isn't just a big city thing where there are alternative options, some of us LGBT and minority people live in (censored) backwoods holes where we have no choice but to do business with the people who are there...

and no not all of us can "Just leave" you do realize that moving costs a lot of money right? You do realize that some LGBT people are 14 and can't legally do a (censored) thing on their own right? Some people would literally be stuck in a (censored) that refuses to offer any services to them ever under any circumstances.

in these arguments, why do they always leave out the fact that this would affect normal white people too?

2.) Boycotts don't always work ( and maybe never work ). Sure a business that discriminates might not ever become the next Walmart, but they (censored) well could stay afloat without the gay dollar or the Black dollar and there are plenty of people who would happily be like, "I know they are racist, but I really think their cake is good and I can't just not eat it."

Not sure I even understand the point of this statement.
