She's going to lose. The Civil Rights act ended the ability for businesses to exclude people on the basis of race (and a few other categories). That has now been extended to homosexuals. A flower store is a "public accomodation", just like a lunch counter.

Her only hope is that somewhere along the way Washington has not updated the code. I kind of doubt that.

The Civil Rights Acts of 1964 meant some rights were lessened and others strengthened. The right of free association lost out, and has never recovered.

I do wonder how "Curves" gym gets away with it. Of course not all animals are equal in Obama's Animal Farm USA, so the question sort of answers itself.

Unless the state is equally willing to force mosques to hire Christian imams, or force kosher butchers to sell pork, you're just spouting the party line.

There is no basis in Christianity for racism, or for refusing to feed someone of a different race. There is every basis in Christianity for refusing to participate in a "gay wedding."
