A weekly Fort Worth craft market is excluding a vendor that supports the LGBTQ+ community.
The email apologizes to Alaniz for “accepting your application and not doing our research beforehand,” before promising to refund her vendor fee.
Facebook users flooded the market’s page with comments critical of its stance against the LGBTQ+ community. Roots Market has since deactivated comments on both its Facebook and Instagram pages. Representatives for Roots Market did not respond to three emails from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and an Instagram message requesting comment Thursday.Roots Market, which organized its first vendor market on Magnolia Avenue on May 13, doesn’t advertise itself on social media as a business catering exclusively to Christians or to those opposed to the LGBTQ+ community.
Alaniz, who participated in the Roots over Mother’s Day Weekend, said she didn’t know much about the company given how new it was.
