I guess I just don’t understand these complaints: who wants flowers provided by, food provided by, or to be married by someone that doesn’t want to do it and thinks the way you live is wrong? Why would you want to force your business on someone that doesn’t want it? Answer: You’re forcing your agenda on others and defining buying freaking flowers as a civil right. It’s crazy. I’m sure there’s plenty of gay florists around.

I’m getting to the point where if any of these “fag marriage” states happens to be nuked by Kim Jong-Un or some al-Qaeda crazies, I’m just not going to give a damn.

Should the florist lose this case, he should just make pansy arrangements

Of course it wouldn't matter to you that the town where this is taking place voted overwhelmingly against homo 'marriage'.

Nope. After 9/11, I spent a ton of money, time and effort on charity drives, which all went to New York. Now, I wouldn’t lift a single finger to help any Obama-voting, fag-marriage state. Any state that embraces such deviancy can just go burn in blazes.

So my town, full of Bible-believing Christian families can "burn in blazes"?

Are you insane?

A business should have a right to whom they do business with

Well, take back your g’damn state from the deviants.

As long as a state embraces fag-marriage, I wish it every conceivable ill.

citing her religious opposition to same-sex marriage.

When will these business owners not put their families' livelihoods in danger when they could easily have said they are overbooked for that particular date to accept the job? It's one thing to tell them outside the business they don't approve but don't do it under the umbrella of the family's business.

Naw, it's so they can sue for enough $$$$ to pay for the wedding, honeymoon and a new house with a white picket fence.

Same old junk. If you don’t agree, they will force you to agree.

okay....here in Washington state where we haven’t had a pub governor in about 30 yrs and rats rule the state, the voters had a marvelous choice last fall to vote for an excellent Prosecuting attorney in the Seattle area, young, smart, and the son of a much respected now passed on former female legislator....instead they voted in a creepy law clerk with no actual exp in court or trials, a rat of course, and he is the one pressing this stupid lawsuit.....
