Boss is jumping to conclusions and refusing to listen. Wanted to vent and also ask, what should we do (besides search for new jobs)?

tl;dr: overly religious semi-regular costumer who makes us all uncomfortable previously tried to walk out of the store without paying, talking over employee who was ringing her out. When she came in again, our boss warned my co-worker about it, co-worker mentioned he was uncomfortable servicing her because she gets preachy. Our boss told him to go ahead and just provide the service (a notary signature). Co-worker went to ring customer up at checkout, she repeated what she did last time, this time successfully.

Termination due to sexual orientation discrimination and retaliation

Now listen, I have NEVER used that “gay” card in my entire life, but after the exit interview I just went through, I feel the need to express this as such. This is coming from a gay man in Idaho. A bit of backstory: On February 15th and March 14th, 2023, I was subjected to what I believe was discrimination, retaliation, and subsequently terminated from my position due to my sexual orientation. On February 15th, an employee targeted me with threats of violence because of my sexual orientation, which left me feeling extremely unsafe at work. As a result, I reported the incident to HR in order to address the issue and ensure my safety. Following this incident, all employees at the business were put through a workplace harassment training to prevent future occurrences.
