This is the flower shop / same-sex wedding case in Washington State.
Barronelle is a very nice lady in my own town, did everything she could to accommodate customers without violating her Christian principles.

It’s probably because she didn’t incorporate her business so, under the law there is no differentiation between her assets and her business assets.

This state's governor and appointees are gung-ho on sodomy.
East-of-the-Cascades people like Barronelle and yours truly, not so much.

Why would anyone (gay or otherwise) want flowers or cakes, or anything for a Wedding from a person who would not wish them well? It’s all about an agenda.
The agenda: Find a Christian and humiliate them publicly because they won’t agree with your sin, and then sue them. These people will be problematic married or single....it’s just their way! The so called victims, that can’t get a service, want their 15 minutes of fame on the Media stage.

I believe her business IS a corporation. Article also implies that.

I agree with you, but the judge’s ruling is based on tax law. If you’re business is not incorporated, you assume personal liability.

but the judges ruling is based on tax law. It isn't based on tax law. It is based on the homosexual-agenda Washington Law Against Discrimination.

No, based on the WLAD, which appears to pierce the corporate liability protections. She’ll be bankrupted. The Sodomites are winning.

I know what you are saying, but ‘freedom of religion’ is in the First Amendment that also covers ‘free speech.’ So what personal liability? The Judge is wrong.
She has right to deny to serve whomever she pleases. Otherwise it’s a violation of her Constitutional rights to ‘freedom of religion”.

The law in question was made to punish people. That it can be used to destroy a Christian person is just a bonus for the State and the gaystapo.

In which case, and I don’t know tax law that well but just well enough to get into trouble, she may have a reason to appeal.
It also depend on the type of incorporation.

If it’s incorporated, I can’t see how the judge can put her personal assets on the line. That’s no different than suing Wal-Mart and getting the judge to agree that all 200 million shareholders can have their personal assets seized in the event of a judgement.

Arlene's Flowers was incorporated in 1989. They are trying to go around this to get to her personally and shouldn't be able to.

One would think the couple would simply pick another florist. But it’s not about the flowers, is it?
