There are a lot of similarities between the scenarios but there is a very important difference. Anyone who Mojo doesn't want to take on as a client can just go to another masseur with no real loss and Mojo wasn't trying to force his opinions on others he was just living by them himself. He wasn't forcing himself in to a situation where his actions reasonably (or probably even unreasonably) would cause distress in others. However the woman who wants to dress casually at the wedding will be distressing others. Auntie K is pushing her opinions on to others more then Mojo is.

Also there are different consequences if they hold on to their beliefs in the face of opposition. Auntie missing out on the wedding would not normally be considered as severe of consequences as the masseur being kicked out of his profession or facing discrimination lawsuits.
