Gays and lesbians still do have access to the site and they do still have the opportunity to partake in the services offered. If the services offered are not the services they are looking for, there are other stores that offer the products they are looking for. How is this different than any other products or services offered? The site does not say that they exclude gays or lesbians, as far as I know, but that they do not offer the services that cater to gays and lesbians.
