Too many faggies with too much government power.

RE: Well, so could we keep buying her flowers.
I don’t hear any of the gay crowd boycotting Chick-Filet these days.

She should counter sue the ACLU for her legal fees.

The backlash was too severe. They lost that one big.

One of my Boy Scouts was gay and he blogged about going to CFL and how he could feel everyone in the restaurant hating him while he sat there quietly.
Oh....please. Do you have to ride the drama llama?

It is Homofascism.

The homosexuals did the same thing to the Catholic Church, same thing in Nazi Germany, etc. All Fascist movements were founded by homosexuals (Hari) —they have no morals and can easily brutalize children and women since they are puerile narcissists (like the POS in the white house, fixated in an age when childhood abuse occurred) -—they use-extortion and forcing “Good Men, Goodbye” to leave or hide. More info on the homofascist infiltration-—it is a Marxist enterprise. There are tons of books, like above on the evil infiltration to destroy Christianity and the worldview of little children, to reduce the masses to the little harem boy tribal minds. (”Libido Dominandi”. Sexual Liberation creates slaves for the State.) (Without Virtue, culture collapses and totalitarianism is inevitable.)

They are evil, vile and won’t back down. They fight dirty, lie, and bribe people, exactly as the Freemasons, Robber Barons did-—they-bribe judges or kill them if they can’t be bribed, bribe Congressmen to force their irrational, antithetical vice into a “Virtue” to collapse civil society. They have controlled schools for 50 years to deform character in children.

Promoting Vice (and sodomy always uses the body in degrading, dehumanizing ways, and “Civil Unions” normalize it and “Homosexual” marriage REALLY normalizes the concept in worldview in children totally destroying any possibility of being a Christian-—the only Rational Religion (besides Deism).

All Laws that cease to be Just (virtuous), ceases to be Law.

The fact that we are supposed to be a Republic with Individual Natural Rights from God is a major threat to these collectivists who want to be the masters, particularly of the boys. Women mean nothing but breeders of boys. They are an abomination-—the homofascists who are the ones who has used homosexuals and the movement for forcing their agenda on our children and into movies, etc to normalize the vile, irrational behavior.

Counter suing is largely an urban legend.

Still, you don’t think that flower buyers in Washington State could exclusively buy from her for their flower needs?

Washington is one sad ass state. I would not get near the state of Washington as I recall queers headed there back in the 90’s. What a crock of crap the state is. This is what happens when people forget our founding fathers were Christians.

Praise God for people willing to stand. She’s counted worthy to share Christ’s sufferings.

RE:”All goods, merchandise, and services offered or sold to opposite sex couples shall be offered or sold to same-sex couples, including but not limited to goods, merchandise and services for weddings and commitment ceremonies,” Ekstrom’s note stated.”

I didn't see Mike Pence bringing this up as an example on ABC Sunday when he was being grilled about this bill, in fact George Stephanoplis specifically asked him about flowerists refusing to sell flowers to gay couples and if his bill protects it.

He asked him THIS THREE Times and Pence refused to answer all three times instead claiming that the bill really doesn't change anything and it was all 'misinformation' .

He obviously doesn't think this case will evoke sympathy outside of the choir, which is a really bad sign.

"They can keep this up forever."

They wont. Once she's bleed dry most lawyers won't touch it. This lady is the wrong target, she is a much more sympathetic figure than her opponents.

I have dealt with so many gay florists in various cities that I can see where if gays were really not trying to create a problem for Christians they would choose the gay florists to do the flowers for their weddings. They are just determined to make trouble because we all know they prefer to promote other gays.

I will be careful to not use the gay florists from now on.

From the GoFundMe site:

“ABOUT THIS CAMPAIGN
Barronelle Stutzman, a Christian florist, referred her friend and long-time customer to other florists because she could not in good conscience provide full wedding support for a same-sex wedding. Although the couple received flowers, the Washington State Attorney General, and later, the same-sex couple, sued Barronelle.

The court found her liable for violating the Washington Law Against Discrimination and ruled that both the state and the couple may collect damages and attorneys’ fees from Barronelle’s business and personal assets.

The 70-year-old grandmother may lose her business, her home, and her savings - because she stood for her faith, she could lose everything she owns!

But you can help!

Give today to protect Barronelle against the financial risk she faces.”
