Once again, I feel that a private business owner (florist, baker, B & B owner etc) has the right to refuse service to anyone based on their moral/religious viewpoints.

What happened to, "We have the right to refuse service to anyone?"

These TB sufferers are really starting to make me angry and you don't want to see me angry.

Counter sue. The business has the right to refuse service to anyone.

Is gay marriage legal in WA? If not, then this should be an easy case to win, and counter sue. Get a settlement, open more stores, with a motto something like “We will not service illegal services” don’t use the word “gay” “homosexual” but let it be implied.

Watch business skyrocket.
Profit.

Fire State Attorney General Bob Ferguson. There are plenty of laws that he doesn’t enforce, and he’s made it clear what his priorities are.

God bless you Arlene Stutzman. Standing your ground as a believer is a sign to opposers of the Gospel that they will be destroyed, and that the believer will be saved.

Everyone get ready for many more lawsuits such as this one to any business that doesn’t go the gay way. Church’s will be sued by the feds too. It is all part of the destruction of this country agenda.

How about those moose slime cab drivers who wouldn’t take drunks, or dogs (even seeing eye-type) as passengers??

Based on their “religion”.

Refuse service to someone for your own reasons, then get sued.

America has been screwed for a long, long time.

“As Attorney General, it is my job to enforce the laws of the state of Washington,” said Ferguson. “Under the Consumer Protection Act, it is unlawful to discriminate against customers based on sexual orientation.

So based on this it would unlawful for the florist to not allow a pedophile to send a dozen red roses to a 10 year old.

If this is allowed, why couldn’t the AG sue a church that refused to allow a same-sex marriage?

Everyone (including the a$$hat AG, I bet) know why homos go to businesses that are probably well known to not cater to them. What? The homos don't know of a homo florist? Gimme' a break!!

When the feds enforce laws about blocking voting sites regardless of which side the blockers are on.

The state will not win this. the business is a private enterprise, based on religious viewpoints you can deny doing business irregradless of sexual orientation. Sexual orientation is not a disability. There is a limit to the civil liberties clause. Sexual orientation is a choice not a right. So if a business is selling flowers and chocolate, based on sexual orientation a woman or man wants to buy flowers for a minor student (construed as pedophile), a pet (bestality), a goat, horse, a cow, a sheep (bestality). The management refuses to sell based on this sexual orientation, thus it will be shoot down.

quote “Under the Consumer Protection Act, it is unlawful to discriminate against customers based on sexual orientation”

and under the US Constitution it is unlawful to infringe upon someones religion and try to force them through the coercive power of government to condone sinful behavior.

People must realize that they are no longer masters of their affairs. The new masters are the Sodomite, aliens from the Third World, the criminal class, the vice addict and of course children of The Divine One sitting in the White House. This fact is why many on this forum frequently post the statement "everything is upside down." It is!!!!!!

Such is the price of abdicating in favor of a conquering coalition. "Woe to the conquered!"

Hmmm. Appears that some animals are more equal than others.

I thought that the First Amendment settled all this, a couple hundred years ago.

Sex perverts/offenders are to be monitored, not married.
