Reality is that it's not worth the hassle not to bow to the demands of the left. Why should a business stand up for any social/moral/political viewpoint? So they can lose a theoretical half of their customers? If they put out an ad that offends the hive mind like leftists they are punished, if they don't, they're not - because righties don't typically play those childish games. Most righties don't really care if the woman is acting like a man, and the man acting like a woman, they don't care if some parent decides their little boy can play with girls toys. It has no effect on their life so they tend to just go "wierd" and move on with their busy lives. Lefties on the other hand throw massive tantrums, and because the media is predominantly left-wing, they have a pretty easy time going national with their silly offenses (see the brew-ha-ha over the "lighter is better" commercial for the most recent example I can think of.)
It is never in a businesses interest to offend anyone, but if they're forced to chose whom to "offend", they'll always chose to piss off the 2% who get their panties in a bundle over shit like interracial couples and who have limited ability to cause a national scene over it.
