So your suggestion is to embolden the fascists who would threaten 16 year olds with guns? Your solution to the location of the front line is to surrender to those who would move that line to the homes and rooms of some of these same cashiers and baristas? You think giving in to threats will make those threats go away?

The moral responsibility of all people is to oppose hate.
The responsibility for the safety of workers from attack rests with their employers.

Clearly the solution is to make the stores even gayer and pay for as much security as it takes to keep the workers safe from those who take offense.

Giving in will make everyone less safe, appeasement never works.
