WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — An atheist group has sued a transit system in Pennsylvania for refusing to run a bus ad that expressly sought to connect with other atheists.

The Northeastern Pennsylvania Freethought Society filed the lawsuit on Tuesday against the County of Lackawanna Transit System (COLTS) after it declined to place an ad citing atheism on the sides of its buses.

I think you might have copied and pasted the wrong story, which doesn’t fit the headline.

In the case of Melissa’s Sweet Cakes, another fundraising site picked up the gauntlet. Dana Loesch has the story on her page (link below)

BTW, the one lesbian of the pair - the one awarded 60 grand at the bakery owners’ expense - wasn’t even there when the refusal was made. Yet, somehow, she stilled claimed she was, among other things, “mentally raped.”

The title you created “GoFundMe Shuts Down Second Fundraiser for Christian Businesses” did not match the article at the source you linked. We have changed the title to match the actual article you linked but now the article you posted is not found at your linked article.

Do you have a link which goes to the article you posted?

Thanks.

It was a copying mistake. For some reason my phone does things like that with some sites. I actually had to Google for a direct link to the story because every time I tried clicking on the story link from the site’s home page it took me to a different wrong story. I’m done with things for tonight though.
