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.
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!
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..
She should counter sue the ACLU for her legal fees.
Praise God for people willing to stand. She’s counted worthy to share Christ’s sufferings.
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.
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.
Picard was right. THIS FAR, NO FARTHER
Good for you grandma. Maybe soon you can provide flowers for the brown shirts funerals.

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