When queer business partners disagree about maintaining community focus while scaling

My business partner and I started our company specifically to serve LGBTQ+ clients, but as we've grown we're getting pressure to expand our market and tone down the queer focus, and we disagree about how much to adapt - they think we need to evolve to scale and I feel like we're talking about abandoning our core mission. We built this together but now we're on different sides.
