You missed the point and it’s important people like yourself get it right.

A florist in Washington State was prosecuted early last year for refusing to make wedding floral arrangements for a homosexual ‘wedding’. So she knew from the gitgo who her customer was.

It’s also important to note that she said she would be happy to make floral arrangements for these homosexuals but not for an event that violated her faith and conscience.

She explained clearly that making a floral arrangement is a product of art, that when she made such arrangements she put her passion into the art and thought of the event as she worked. For her to think of something clearly perverted against her faith while making a work of art left her feeling violated and unable to think it was for the good of the business or its homosexual ‘wedding’ customers.

So she refused but referenced other florists that she thought would accommodate the homosexuals. And she repeated that her floral arrangements and services would be available for any other purpose except those associated with homosexual ‘marriage’ or its celebrating events such as engagements or anniveraries.

The B&B owner in Hawaii refused service because of religious beliefs. When two men requested a king size bed to spend their ‘honeymoon’ as newlyweds, again it’s clear who they are. For a person faithful to God to think they are renting a bed to a couple that will commit acts that are an abomination to all things holy leaves a feeling of sickness and immorality. There are plenty of hotels and inns that will take such people. It need not be forced on private inns.

And refusing rooms to certain characters is not unusual. If an inn allows a pimp to house his girls, the inn becomes a brothel. If drug dealers are allowed to use motel rooms as offices, then the motel becomes a center for illegal drugs. And if homosexuals are allowed to spend their ‘honeymoons’ in private inns, then the inn becomes associated with perversity and immorality. Such damage to reputation will turn traditional couples and families away, all forced by coercion to appease less than 2% of the population.

I wouldn’t rent out my cabins for a KKK or Nazi gathering, for nudist conventions or Satanists or Obamacare supporters or for abortionists or NAMBLA or a Muslim gathering or a gun control strategy meeting.
