I am never offended when a company says they aren't comfortable doing business with an adult company. Part of it may be prejudice, but part of it may be secondhand prejudice; for example, the accountant might have churches or schools or something and (legitimately) feel like it might cause him problems if it came out that he was working for you.
Now... if I've disclosed things up front and a company agrees to do something and flakes halfway through or after I've made a time or energy investment in them, THEN I'm pissed, because that's a case of full disclosure, acceptance of the offer, and then ditching out on the project, and that isn't cool.
When I approach a company where I think it might be an issue, I did just as you did. If they call back the next day after they've thought about it (and it isn't something vitally time critical), I really don't have any major objection.
