A Pennsylvania Christian bridal shop owner who refused to provide wedding gowns to a lesbian couple because of her religious beliefs was bullied by the lesbians on Facebook, where their post about the shop owner’s refusal to serve them went viral. The New York Daily News reports the lesbians, who tried to schedule an appointment at W.W. Bridal Boutique in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, were “unidentified,” but said the owner – who was identified as Victoria Miller – told them she “[does] not service same-sex couples.” “We feel we have to answer to God for what we do,” Miller told The Press Enterprise. “And providing those two girls dresses for a sanctified marriage would break God’s law.” Subsequently, the two lesbians turned to Facebook, which led to online listings for the bridal boutique to be downgraded to one-star reviews. “Jesus made everyone feel welcome, shame you are not a follower of Christ,” one man commented on Facebook. According to the News, the Bloomsburg Town Council is meeting Monday night to discuss the incident and whether to propose legislation that will ban businesses from refusing to serve LGBT customers, potentially providing the couple the means with which to sue Miller. Miller says she has hired an attorney to help defend her in the event a lawsuit is filed. Her shop’s website appears dark, and the status of her shop, as listed on Facebook, is “permanently closed.” A photo, contributed by Phillip J. Lagomarsino, next to her shop’s listing on Facebook, states, “Your beliefs don’t make you a better person, your behavior does.”

You will be tolerant or else!
Pray America wakes up
John 15:18-27
Yeah, that's why He was scourged with a whip, then made to drag the cross he'd be nailed to through a jeering crowd to the site of His death.
Oh yeah, everybody loved Jesus, especially the holier than thous and the unrepentant sinners of His day!
Jesus made everyone feel welcome to repent and be baptized. He did not make people feel welcome to engage in behavior that is an abomination to God.
The satanic left twists the words of Scripture, which is why it is critical to read and know the Bible yourself. Lest you be fooled.
So.. Breitbart grasps neither caps-lock nor paragraphs.
Got it. Total suckage. Yep.
I can tell you personally there are PLENTY of gay & lesbian pastry shops! They just ain’t lookin’ hard enough!
what if she used Jesus’ own words to sinners, “Go and sin no more”?
wonder if this guy ripping them would stand behind the store owners, then...
The excerpted part of the original article is divided into seven paragraphs. Here, it’s just one. What happened?
Where is Eric Holder? Why is he not prosecuting the lesbians for their anti-Christian treatment of the shop owners?
Yes, back in my old town in Port Jervis, NY there’s a gay run ice cream shop, The Riverside Creamery (they’re good people and make great ice cream at reasonable prices, they deserve honorable mention ;))Since homosexuals as a demographic tend to be relatively affluent and well-educated, why can’t the malcontents among them stop looking for excuses to be offended and “turn lemons into lemonaide”. Let them open up their OWN gay-friendly wedding-related businesses.

This case seems fundamentally different from the Christian bakeries. The bakeries were asked to make gay/lesbian decorated cakes. That was a product they don’t normally make. Was this company asked to make a lesbian dress? If I have a product (not a service) to sell, why would I care who wants to buy it. If someone asks me to make a product against my beliefs, then I’d have a problem.
How relevant this is, to my day.
Then they wouldn’t be able to feel persecuted.
ALL of this is about them trying to validate their behavior to themselves by forcing society to accept or applaud them.
She should have known she was being set up. The easiest way is to not have the product they want. She could have conveniently not have their size or said they don’t do/can’t schedule new alterations a the present time or accidently ripped the gowns they insisted on. Use any lame excuse but never ever say it’s because they’re gay.
Except Jesus did judge when He said “Go and sin no more”. That wasn’t ambiguous. He also didn’t say anything about approving of someone’s sin. How’d the debate end?
