Says state, same-sex couple can demand home, savings as damages
A judge in Washington on Wednesday authorized the personal ruin of a florist whose Christian faith prevented her from promoting a same-sex wedding and who was sued by both the state and the homosexual couple.
Officials with the Alliance Defending Freedom confirmed that Benton County Superior Court Judge Alex Ekstrom granted a summary judgment in the case against Barronelle Stutzman, so the case wont proceed to trial now. It had been scheduled for March 23.
It was Ekstrom who said last month that Stutzman personally was liable for the claims against her, placing both her business assets and her home and personal savings at risk.
The judge ordered that the state and the homosexual plaintiffs, each of whom filed lawsuits, could collect damages and attorneys fees from Stutzman.
The message of these rulings is unmistakable: The government will bring about your personal and professional ruin if you dont help celebrate same-sex marriage, said ADF Senior Counsel Kristen Waggoner.

More like the judicial branch has lost an integrity it may have ever had.
Yeah, I’m in Richland and this is very sad although not unexpected (except maybe for the summary aspect).
The “T” in “LGBT” stands for “Tyranny”.
*lost any
Tar, feathers, fence rail.
I guess the judge was afraid a jury of his peers might not convict, so the safe thing to do was deny due-process.
I don’t even feel like reading the full article(s) now - can this be appealed?
Quoting someone much smarter than meself:
“The order of progression, once sodomites are given even the slightest quarter in a culture, is: Tolerance, acceptance, ratification, cooperation, participation.”
Amazing how many similarities between the Homo Mafia and the Mohammedans. Yet they’d destroy each other even before normal people. Is there any way to facilitate that?
Why would anybody ever go into any business?
Red hot poker, King Edward routine.
Is the judge gay?
Is there a link to donate to this Christian woman?
Somebody needs to inform the local mosque that this judge draws pictures of Mohammed while doodling in court.
Perhaps I need to find a homosexually owned business around town. Go in, and annoy them with Christian conservative statements and such, until I’m refused service.
Then sue. They can’t have it both ways. Where these evil people are willing to go out and get in your face and provoke you. We aren’t. Bullies can only win so long.
Bullies only understand one thing. Knock out a bully, and he/she will either become a friend, or never bother you again.
If a Christian cannot refuse to service a gay wedding, then a gay cannot refuse to service a Christan wedding. You can’t have it both ways. Time to start fighting fire with fire. Point out the hypocrisy. But you can’t do that unless you get out there and do the same damned thing they are doing using the law.
If God doesnt punish America, Hell have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah. Ruth Graham/Billy Graham
As it was in the days of Noah and Lot (in Sodom and Gomorra) so shall it be at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. The end is near, for now they call good evil and evil good... come quickly Lord Jesus!
Aloise Hitler ran a beer hall in a building he rented from a Jewish man. When Hitler wanted to start knocking out walls, the landlord said no.
Aloise Hitler ended up owning the building and the Jew ended up fleeing from Germany.
Is there a link to donate to this Christian woman?

All I know is what I just read a few minutes ago. Who knows the plaintiffs would probably go after the donations. This is akin to “feeding Christians to the lions”. . .out of a playbook from the pits of hell.
