Florist Sued for Refusing Service to Gay Couple Pens Defiant Letter Rejecting Gov’t Settlement Offer

[BlindBoo]

Your concession is duly noted and summarily accepted.

Here we have Keys_Picking up a loose football, claiming it was fumbled, runs 95 yards to the endzone, spikes the ball, and yells "Touchdown"

I can see liberals sputtering when a Christian goes into a Muslim restaurant and wants a pancake made in the shape of a cross. Or do Muslim restaurants not serve pancakes at all?

Stop wandering off into irrelevance. Who wants a pancake in the shape of a cross and why do you think Muslims would have a problem with that?

They don't serve them in the shape of a cross, more than likely. And unless they offer pancakes baked in to whatever shape the customer wishes, they are not obligated to make pancakes in the shape of a cross.

Christians are protected by the same law.

Christians are hated by the party - they have no protection and no rights.

LOL....Christians are protected by the same law- and by Federal law too.

Just poor Christian 'victims' feel like they have no protection because they are held to the same standards as everyone else.

 

[Iceweasel]

I'd be cranky also if the homos and state attacked my business

No one has attacked her business.

Ugh...yeah right. The homos couldn't find a homo florist? Yeaaahh right

Once again, this was a case of a couple who spent money for years at a business only for the business to suddenly pull the religion card on them.

The business owner is a bigot and she is welcome to be a bigot but that doesn't excuse her from following local business laws. If anyone was attacked, it was the gay couple.

Wrong. The state is ignoring her Constitutional right to follow her religion. You're the bigot.

Oh, so they kept her from praying? from tithing? from going to church? Which part of her religion did they keep her from following?

The same one that prevents her from servicing a pornographers convention. Do you read the threads at all?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Stand your ground,

lol. she might as well just close up shop, she hasn't a leg to stand on.

It's a sad situation and scary when the GAYstapo gets you in their line of fire

You realize the law she broke has been around for quite a while and isn't just to protect gay people.....did you complain about PA laws like this before now?

I side with the florist, just as I sided with the baker and just as I would side with a homo if they refused to do business because of their rei

[bodecea]

True. This person needed to be made an example of. Justice served.

You can't have people going around thinking they have civil rights!

You'll crush that 1st amendment into dust! Groups favored by the party will be show submission, or punishment will follow!

democrats found a Christian florist and took action!

Won't bow to the sexual preference of those beloved of the party.

Now he will suffer.

Yes...we know. You want to do that to gays and liberals.

 

[PaintMyHouse]

You should if you wont sell them something simply because they are panhandlers and you are in business.

Well there you go - if you are in business, you are a slave.

Yes, you are serving customers and the Almighty Dollar.

 

[Ravi]

Especially the fundies. They used to even say that to Catholics.

If only you could kill them.

No doubt you will soon enough.

I don't want to kill them. I would be happy if they stopped being such bigots. They give real Christians a bad name, just like terrorist Muslims give Muslims a bad name.

I can see liberals sputtering when a Christian goes into a Muslim restaurant and wants a pancake made in the shape of a cross. Or do Muslim restaurants not serve pancakes at all?

So, your ignorance about Muslims being so deep and profound you don't even know if they eat pancakes, you fabricated a completely bogus false analogy?

Really?

 

[Uncensored2008]

They don't need to, they don't do Kosher.

The florist doesn't do gay.

This shit is no different than my walking into a Halal restaurant and demanding a pork chop - then suing if they refuse and WINNING the ******* suit.

 

[Syriusly]

So, a guy paints a picture, puts it up for sale, and then a *** tries to buy it and the guy says no, I don't sell to fags? Yeah, ain't gonna happen. In business the only criteria that matters is whether the check clears.

A guy take a picture of a young boy at the swimming pool and puts the picture up for sale. A good democrat in a NAMBLA shirt comes in and wants to buy it. The guy says "No, I won't allow this to be used for sexual exploitation." Does the party have the right to force him to serve the interests of child molesters? NAMBLA is a loyal voting block for the party.

Pedophile Strawman alert.

 

[Uncensored2008]

This is the exact same debate our country had 60 years ago about WHITE ONLY lunch counters.

No, it sure isn't Jake - but you don't mind lying for your party.

Then don't be a florist and agree to abide by local laws.

 

[Katzndogz]

I got sued by two lesbians. They sued my business. They just didn't get very far before they lost.

 

[Asclepias]

They don't need to, they don't do Kosher.

They dont serve pork so it doesnt really matter what you demand.

Don't be an asshat going around whining (and suing) because someone doesn't want to go against their beliefs, understand it and find another florist

No, they are nothing like the same. That would be like walking into a florist and demanding a blow job. That's not on the price list, usually.

 

[Ravi]

So, your religious convictions don't help you in the workplace. Does that mean we can sue if a Muslim refuses to put bacon on our sandwich? Or can a company fire a Muslim who refuses to handle pork? Can people sue if Muslim cab drivers refuse rides to those with seeing eye dogs, drunks or Jews?

Good luck in getting a halal restaurant to cater a bar mitzvah.

They don't need to, they don't do Kosher.

Actually, in a pinch, Jews will eat halal and Muslims will eat kosher. And they don't have a problem selling to each other, at least in this country.

 

[Syriusly]

You just keep displaying your ignorance about the law.

If a Jew walked into a Halal resturant and was refused service because he is a Jew- that would violate the law.
If a homosexual walks into a Halal resturant in Washington State and was refused service because he is a homosexual- that would violate the law.

However a Halal restuarant refusing to provide a kosher meal- or pork chops would not be a violation of the law.
