***Out of all the florists in the Seattle area they couldn’t find one that is gay and will serves their own kind?***

10 to 1 the homos went out looking for someone who would NOT make them florist who would not supply flowers, just like homos who went out looking for a bakery which would not make them a cake.

I hope the next administration puts executive orders on the many grants that states and cities get... that prohibits religious discrimination... and that the next DOJ opens up civils rights investigations into places that did these types of shakedowns.

IMAGINE an Asymmetrical response directed at the two queers. A price exacted from them. Done in a way that they will never know. Imagine them wondering why/how THEIR lives are being turned upside down.

Where is all that compassion, diversity, and tolerance the left always preaches? Oh, its only for those who agree with them?

The problem here is not religious freedom. The precedent is in anti-discrimination laws... Used to be that a notice on the wall was enough: “This business retains the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.”

“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’ .”

I am so sick of political cowards, that I could scream!

I think the Civil Rights Act made that notice a moot point.

“There must be some anti gay people out there to do a little florist shopping.”

The problem is that the reverse of the situation is not analogous, because the left has defined being gay as a “civil rights” issue, while being opposed to homosexuality is just a belief. So if someone doesn’t make you an anti-gay cake or floral arrangement, they are simply rejecting your beliefs, and not discriminating against a class of people protected under the civil rights laws.

It’s insane how everything has been turned upside down.

Objective Morality is their enemy.

Mike Pence has just basically said, “gee, I sure am sorry to hear that.”

As I said, therein lies the problem.

"There must be some anti gay people out there to do a little florist shopping. See how they like that."

Yes indeed, go to the gay-run flower shop, order some flowers to be delivered to this lady, have them write on the card,

"Thank you for standing up for historic traditional Christian values in the face of persecution from the gay community."

When the shop owner says "oh, I won't write that," correct him,…. "Oh yes you will…"

Perversion trumps Christian beliefs. I don’t know why the federal law signed by Clinton doesn’t cover this.

Its hatred , pure and simple.. on the parts of the Gays.

Have we as a nation sold our soul just so a few can be treated like normal folk even as they act like the self-absorbed idiots they are and destroy others over a cake or flowers?

Sad. I thought Washington might have a clue. Apparently not, where Seattle says who care if businesses close and move over mininum wage distortions now enacted.

What’s next, is the State of Washington going to make her provide Flowers for the NAMBLA Convention and the Nazi Parade Float?

People need to realize that the only way to fight these fascists is to forcefully hold them to their own idiot ideas.
If the Republicans had any guts they would have been fighting fire with fire all along. You can’t ever knuckle under.

Well, if they request her to, I don’t see how they can enforce the law inconsistently...

But has anyone OPENLY declared himself a member of NAMBLA or the Nazi Party these days?
