The failure of capitalism is the failure to recognize that human beings have rights and that business is simply an expression of individual rights. Rights allow one to pursue an activity until that behaviour infringes anothers right to engage in their activity (in this case raising their children).
Having a child gives you no extra rights to control others' behavior. If you don't want to see lesbians kiss, stay out of the ballpark.
