Joianne Fraschilla is a lesbian mom in New Jersey whose son has been eager to visit the petting zoo at the WhiteBriar Bed & Breakfast they pass by regularly.
This week, they noticed a sign outside the B&B promoting tomorrow’s “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day” organized by Mike Huckabee, as well as the message “One man, one woman, one God.”
Fraschilla wrote on the B&B’s Facebook wall that she would not be bringing her son there because she was disappointed a local business was anti-equality. She received the following response, presumably from WhiteBriar co-owner Carole Lokan-Moore:
"Isn’t it wonderful Joanne Fraschilla, that you and your son can enjoy the animals here because I have a traditional marriage with a husband who works with me 90 hours a week to take care of these animals, and the summer camp….we’re 66-68 years old….there were no gays or queers in our time…..if two old ladies chose to live together..so be it, let them deal with God when they get there…but to have the “face sucking” thrown in my face of two gay lesbians who are totally destroying the “normal balance in a child’s life” as you claim your son…where is the role model that your son needs to know how to act like a man? or will he only see the “one sided selfishness” of a “single parent”…and end up an out cast in society by being “gay” himself because he didn’t have a father as a role model. I’ll pray for you….remember what the bible says: “Lay down with dogs, get up with fleas”…..guess that’s why God invented aids…
THIS LOCAL BUSINESS WILL BE ONE MAN ONE WOMAN ONE GOD MAKES MARRIAGE….AND PROUD TO DO SO….YOU SHOULD BE SO LUCKY TO OWN YOUR OWN BUSINESS."
Fraschilla has started a Change.org petition calling on WhiteBriar to apologize for the indefensible comment.
It’s worth noting that Lokan-Moore ran for the New Jersey Senate, but lost in the GOP primary having garnered only 416 votes.
Many conservatives have asked why it matters what Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy personally believes, and the very easy answer is that words hurt...
Bingo! And with this going on, isn't it long past time for Christians to get angry?
Let's look at the rest of that quote too:
remember what the bible says: “Lay down with dogs, get up with fleas”…..guess that’s why God invented aids
"He that lieth down with dogs shall rise up with fleas" has been attributed to Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanack. Not the bible.
Are we beyond the point of no return?
Her words are moral pitchforks thrust into the heart of sin. If that is mean and ignorant it is a badge of honor worthy of Jesus.
Poor Richard's Almanac, by Benjamin Franklin.
Clearly you are not a Christian yourself; that second comment nails it. Might you be a deviant, or deviant supporter yourself? Your presumption of having the right to define Christianity makes it almost certain. One of their endearing qualities.
As mentioned elsewhere, humans tend to become more outspoken and uncaring of public opinion as they get older; a variant of "Freedom's just another word for 'nothing left to lose.'"
"Normals" tend not to verbalize their thoughts about emotionally-charged subjects for two reasons: it's not necessary to state the obvious. And that some targets of justified criticism tend to respond violently, physically, as well as legally.
You do know that "patient Zero" was a gay Canadian flight attendant? Nature has no religion, no pity, no judgement, no mercy. Just consequences.
Yes, I see the loving and tolerant posters have worked over their page pretty well.
I know both involved...The owner of the B+B is what the old timers used to call a “Tough o’l broad”, trust me when I say this.. I stopped out to the B+B just to see what is happening and she has not a care in the world...This will not affect her in any way....
The only issue I have with this story is, if you want an apology..Why do you run to Change.org and demand it from the Govt? Is George Soros gonna personally call and make it all better?
You discussed it with the B&B Owner?
Did she confirm that she wrote an email back to the Lesbian single mother, and that she said everything that the Lesbian single mother is quoting her on?
Sounds like you also know the Lesbian single mother, did you talk to her about it as well?
You have described the B&B owner, but have said nothing about the Lesbian single mother. How would you describe her?
Perhaps you can clarify/expand upon the situation for us.
Like having a conversation with three-year-olds.
Bravo, well spoken.
And sometimes I wonder why the its who deem themselves superior, feel arrogantly entitled to define Christianity.
Yes. They are prone to hysteria and favor emotion over reason and basic irrefutable logic.
Where did the owner thank God for AIDS? I read the article twice and can’t find anything that backs up your claim that the owner is thanking God for AIDS. You so caught up in the moment you decided to lie?
I agree the rant seems contrived. However, if you were the B&B owner and someone wrote that rant and attributed it to you, and raised a ruckus, wouldn’t you contact law enforcement, have the IP traced, sue for libel and felony defamation? I am surprised the gays would risk this type of hoax exposure - but then they are known for their arrogance and their hoaxes...
“I agree. She did a disservice to herself with the AIDS remark.”
Why is that?
Now its a new game “Lesbian Lotto” You pay your lawyer you take your chances.
Same vintage. Same mindset. Enough already.
@% of the population should not be dictating to the other 98% what moral truth is.
Especially when the 2% is in violation of God's Word.
“I agree. She did a disservice to herself with the AIDS remark.”
“Why is that?”
Well, because even granting the truth contained in such a statement, it is the kind of remark that will automatically provoke the response of “bigotry”. Kind of like arguing with a fat person, and saying, “You fat slob”.
It may be true, but people would have less to complain about had the woman written back :
” I am sorry to hear that you will not be staying at my B&B. Of course you are entitled to your lifestyle just as I am entitled to my own views on it. I think if you really had wanted to give your son a treat, you might have put him as a child first, respected my right to post a Chick-Fil-A announcement, and given your son a wonderful time. As it is, you appear to have put yourself first. Best regards, Carole. - PS: Dykes are so gay.”
wow, great way of putting it! lol
“it is the kind of remark that will automatically provoke the response of “bigotry”.”
Oh, my!
