Yes, I just commented on this on another thread earlier.The more you see something shocking, the less shocking it appears, and the more something outrageous happens, the less outrageous it seems to be. That is how a culture becomes desensitized, and that is how the abnormal becomes normalized. But when it comes to the government’s attack on our religious freedoms, it is our sacred duty to remain shocked and outraged. Such things cannot continue to happen in America if we are to be the land of the free and the home of the brave.
According to the Washington Supreme Court, when Christian florist Barronelle Stutzman declined to do the floral arrangements for a same-sex wedding, she violated the state's anti-discrimination laws, since she allegedly discriminated based on her customer’s sexual orientation by refusing to participate in his wedding ceremony.
Attorney David French is correct in emphasizing how this ruling should affect us (he penned these words shortly after the verdict was announced): “If you care about the Bill of Rights, the rights of conscience, or even the English language, there’s a chance that this morning you felt a disturbance in the Force — as if the Founders cried out in rage and were suddenly silenced.”
As French clearly explains, “she was not discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation. She was making a decision not to help celebrate an action, a form of expression. She would no more celebrate a gay wedding than she would any form of immorality, gay or straight. To dispense with her argument, the court did what numerous progressive courts have done: It rewrote the law. It rejected what it called the ‘status/conduct’ distinction, and essentially interpreted the word ‘orientation’ to also mean ‘action.’”
It Is Absolutely Outrageous for the Government to Force Christians to Violate Their Faith
When you can not exercise your religious convictions
then you do not have religious freedom!
The guy could have simply said...I'm sorry you feel that way
I will bring my business elsewhere
Discrimination of LGBTQ, and whatever other fucking letters
should only be measured against other LGBTQ
If the florist provided her services to a lesbian couple
yet, refused her services for these 2 guys....
THAT'S discrimination!
If same sex marriage was normal,
it wouldn't need to be legalized!
Abnormal does not equal normalcy
Equal rights doesn't equate to normalcy
I hope her case is overturned by the SC
and she turns around and sues those guys
for emotional distress and willful intimidation
And the florist could've simply made the fucking flowers !
Why are her convictions valid and not the gays . The gay guy has the law on his side too.
And the homo could've gone to another floristAnd the florist could've simply made the fucking flowers !
Why are her convictions valid and not the gays . The gay guy has the law on his side too.
for his fucking flowers just as easily!
Obviously, perversion and same sex preferences
out weigh moral values and religious convictions,
when it comes to discrimination in the eyes of judges.
Since the judges unanimously agreed,
that the florist violated anti discrimination laws,
then churches should be forced to marry gays!
See, you give someone an inch,
then they want a mile...
Having moral and religious convictions,
isn't discrimination....
Forcing people to go against
their moral and religious convictions,
violates their constitutional rights regarding
Freedom of Religion and limiting the extent
they can exercise their religious convictions/beliefs
enfringes on their freedom of religious expression
which violates anti discrimination laws!
