Sabrina Farber said the company eventually picked up about $40,000 in new business while losing only two customers with about $500 each.

Makes one wonder why so many companies fold to the demands of the "gay community".

Wasn't there a landscaper that got in trouble a few years ago for advertising he did not employ illegals?

Makes one wonder why so many companies fold to the demands of the "gay community".For the same reason there are "moderates" - - because they are cowards who run from the local liberal press like scared bunny rabbits instead of laughing in their faces.
Do you want to know why George Allen lost in Virginia? Not because he called some scumbag stalker from the other campaign a "macaca", but because he APOLOGIZED in the face of taunts from the Washington Post and other liberals.

Don't worry, the liberal socialist Dems will come to the rescue of the Gay Community and enact a Federal Law preventing anyone from denying a homo the same business opportunities as everyone else in America! A business owner may not deny a homo his/her business! News a 6:00 p.m. on MSM. /sarcasm off

Sabrina and Todd Farber were flooded with threats, hate mail Threats and hate mail. I'm glad the ACLU took the time to research whether they can be sued or prosecuted. Maybe they will now take the time to find out who flooded them with threats and help the Farbers pursue them? I won't hold my breath.

God Bless them for not compromising their integrity, their principals, or their values!Isn't it interesting how people flock to those who stand by their principles rather than cave to the tsk tsk finger-wagging of the liberal "mainstream" newsrooms?
Think there's a lesson there for "scared bunny" Republicans? Nahhhhh....
