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.

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.

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

I’m surprised she was not taken out and stoned to death. Maybe next year.

Still boggles my mind to see such madness like this happening. But America is quickly becoming an actively anti-Christian country which requires people to bend down and lick the shoes of evil, or be destroyed.

Haters attack everywhere.

They need to be called what they are, haters.

Many articles about this are stating she refused to serve gays. That is not true. Basically she refused to enter into a contract that would violate her religious beliefs. If the state can force you to enter into a contract the logical extension of that power is to force you into servitude at their pleasure. How that does not violate your rights is beyond me.

Sounds like a State Attorney Generals Office is in bad need of an Enema. Maybe one of the “extra special rights citizens” they shill for will oblige them.

Very sad. I spent many years in Richland and ordered flowers from this business. Perhaps a boycott of whatever businesses these people work for would be in order? Maybe some unwanted publicity for them to hold them accountable?

This crap has to stop. There has to be a way of fighting it outside of the court system which is punishing good people in a way they shouldn’t be able to.

This will all continue until people figure out they can’t get away with trying to force a person to violate their beliefs.

I wish someone would bring a suit against a sodomite business for refusing to decorate a cake with Romans 1:26-27

It has nothing to do with being a Christian. A non-Christian should have the right to refuse service.

Where are all the “anti-bullying” assholes who love to protest when it comes to crap like this?

Thanks for the ping.

That’s a really important story, and a really tragic story for the business owner.

I haven’t read through the Comments yet.

Conservatives need to think of some really clever way to use the judge’s decision against a gay florist who refuses to do something a Conservative customer asks for.

It can’t be anything that might be interpreted as hate speech, so that excludes a lot of the most obvious ideas.
