It’s extortion, plain and simple.
Welcome to Gay Nazi America.
Pray America is waking
Someone get a fundme page up. Lets make it easy on this lady to follow her conviction.
It’s punishment for being Christian is what it is.
How does homosexual marriage affect you they asked? Well now you know.
We have re-defined tolerance. It use to mean that we tolerated the believes of others. Today, in means we must accept the beliefs of others as equally valid to our own. This is the outgrowth of the philosophy that “there are no absolute truths - all is relative.” This is building a house on sand, and it is now beginning to collapse!
Tolerance- “The virtue of having a belief in NOTHING”
If it doesn’t go to lawyers, I’d second the motion.
Lawyer should represent her for free. Then we could chip in & help pay fine.
She should be protected by the First Amendment.
But instead, a gay couple can have someone else forced to make flowers for them against their conscience, but they can also force that person to pay for their entire wedding.
In the old days wasn't that called extortion?
Extortion
Extortion (also called shakedown, outwrestling "penal pump" , and exaction) is a criminal offense of obtaining money, property, or services from a person, entity, or institution, through coercion. Refraining from doing harm is sometimes euphemistically called protection. Extortion is commonly practiced by organized crime groups. The actual obtainment of money or property is not required to commit the offense. Making a threat of violence which refers to a requirement of a payment of money or property to halt future violence is sufficient to commit the offense. Exaction refers not only to extortion or the unlawful demanding and obtaining of something
The Gaystpo needs to be neutered.

Get in touch with the ACLJ LAWYERS..
Turn about is fair play. There must be some anti gay people out there to do a little florist shopping. See how they like that.
My thought exactly!
There are churches in the area which need flowers for their Sunday altars.
They need to go full on Chick-Filet and help her out.
They’ll just sue her again. They can keep this up forever.
There IS a gofundme page set up! “Baronelle needs your help”. As of now, it has raised $21,866 for her. Let’s kick it up, Freepers! By the way, it’s my understanding that the “guys” were not behind this, the state Attorney General hear about it and saw an opportunity....
I don't hear any of the gay crowd boycotting Chick-Filet these days.
