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

[Uncensored2008]

Until it is repealed or declared unConstitutional. Has that happened yet? If not, why not?

This may well be the catalyst...

What part of "she lost" don't you understand?

What part of "appeals" did the hate sites fail to program you with?

She can keep going but she doesn't have a chance in hell.

You mean like that NM photographer did?

Much less actually. These laws have been found constitutional for decades.

There was only ONE southern Republican who voted against the bill in the South

Right, right, as long as you don't count the other 10 Southern Republicans who voted against it!

Let's evaluate that claim.

First, the Senate makeup of the South beginning with the 88th Congress (1963):

Every state, who belonged to the defunct Confederacy, had both of their senate seats occupied by a Democrat. The exception was Texas.

Second, pertaining to your claim of "10 Republicans voting against" the Civil Rights Act. Those 10 Republicans were House Republicans, out of 177 Republican House members.

This is the composition of the South as it pertained to the House, and legislative plurality in those states beginning with the 88th Congress:

Legend:

Blue: 80.1-100% Democratic

Sky Blue: 60.1-80% Democratic

Aquamarine: ≤60% Democratic

Red: 80.1-100% Republican

Light Red: 60.1-80% Republican

Pink: ≤60% Republican

This is the lie you tell, g5, Boo.

So, the argument stands: Democrats are Democrats no matter where they came from or who they were in the past.

So there you have it. Not one single Southern Republican voted in favor of the Civil Rights Act, not one.

Try reading before responding. Did I say Gay is a race? Nope! But your failure to comprehend my post put you in a particularly poor light.

While we protect race because it is not a factor in what a person is, sexual preference is a behavior and cannot rationally be protected.

By associating homosexuality with race, you offer the same logical fallacy that your party does in general.

You're joking, right? Who said behavior cannot be protected? Religion is a behavior and the Founders made sure it was protected....in the very first Amendment too. Speech is a behavior and the Founders made sure it was protected....in the very first Amendment also.

So...tell us again how a behavior cannot "rationally" be protected.

Under the Constitution, and in a tolerant and fair society, you should have no "right" to force a Christian photographer to service a gay wedding. For that matter, you should have no right to force anyone to service a gay wedding, unless finding someone else to service the ceremony would be very difficult or impossible, which is almost never the case.

There are plenty, plenty, plenty of photographers, florists, and bakers, etc., who don't mind servicing gay ceremonies. So it's not like gay couples don't have numerous readily available options.

I would be very curious to see what liberals would say if a Christian heterosexual group sued a gay photographer who refused to video record a lecture in a church on the health risks of homosexuality. After all, if photographers are a "public accommodation," and if you can't "discriminate" on the basis of "sexual identity," then the gay photographer would be liable for legal action if he refused to service the lecture just because he found it offensive.

How's her appeal coming along? I bet her lawyer is LOVING this.

If a person has a problem with certain people legally marrying, maybe they should not be in a money making business that involves dealing with weddings, just like a person who has a problem with certain people legally getting rides should not be in a money making business giving rides.

Such are now life's neccesities.

So here you are again intimating that some businesses should be allowed to discriminate while others are not.

Yo, a Christian florist who was sued and found guilty of discrimination after refusing to provide flowers for a same-sex wedding isn’t planning on backing down, recently issuing a defiant letter rejecting a settlement agreement and revealing plans to appeal her case.

Gay is a race!

Brilliant Comrade.

Gay is sexual orientation, not a race.

The case in Washington State has nothing to do your nemesis, President Obama.

Where do you come up with these ridiculous analogies?

She never refused to sell them flowers. That would be discrimination. What she refused to sell was her artistry. An artist should always have the right to refuse their artistry to anyone for any reason or no reason.

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.

Certainly any Christian doing business in such a hostile country should make adjustments in their business practices. Still advertising wedding services is lunacy. It's advertising for government punishment. Keep these personal services private.
