Absolutely.  The free market takes care of this.  If there is unmet consumer demand, a business will open to meet that demand.  There's been no easier time to open a business than today.

Also, you cannot please everyone and you never will.  It's not a fruitful endeavor.

On the consumer side... simply talk with your wallet.  Life's too short to choose to be a miserable person.  Your dollar is your vote regarding who is taking care of your consumer needs.

This sentiment is usually correct, but, it was very, very wrong 50 years ago throughout the South.  White customers were taught to feel that they shouldn't patronize places that served blacks as equals, so, no such places materialized in many places.
I'm not saying the same thing will happen again but for gay people, but it's not hard to imagine certain organizations starting to teach that they should only do business with businesses that do not serve gays.

First off, 50 years ago was 50 years ago. Times change. 50 years ago we had no means of mass communication to point out things we perceive as unjust. 

Secondly, there are no businesses that don't serve gays. There are businesses that refuse to make special accommodations for gays, but that is a totally different matter.

As far as your first statement, the word "taught" is key. When government presents only one side of any topic and refuses to allow alternate viewpoints, then that becomes a problem.

Today, it is 100% correct.

Especially in the knee-jerk mob mentality climate social media has created today.

Do something deemed "wrong" by the nutjob SJWs and you've got riots, boycotts, firings, doxxing, and even folks being physically attacked.

There are no "victims" any longer, just pretend victims.  The true victims are the ones in the sights and line of fire of the SJWs.  It's always about revenge ("equality" in the sense of spreading the "suffering" around) and never equal respect and treatment.
