I commend your decision, skyvolt2000.
I'm going to do likewise.
There's a shop here ion Chicago that I'll never go back to because the owner is a total jerk and engendered an atmosphere that very much says 'straight, white males only.'
Fortunately, the shop nearest my work, Chicago Comics of Clark Street is awesome and totally welcoming to readers of all sorts.
Of course for those who do not live in a city, or don't have that same option and I would not hold it against them if they cannot follow suit.
