So Gay Nanny State PING!
“Kneel before Zod!”
Every knee shall bow ... but not to Zod.
What “damages” could there possibly be?
This is truly incredible.
Telling a business who they will work for with a “gun” to their heads.
please explain how the fedgov has the right to specify how a private corporation is run
private corporate entities are roughly the same as people.
the fedgov cannot dictate how a company conducts its business any more then it can tell you what to think or do
Gees! There has to be a Gay prancing florist some where in Washington that would have been “Just Delighted” to provide flowers for the Gay wedding!
Hey, AG Bobbi Fergie and Co., get ready for the incoming tide.
Bob Ferguson is a stinking bully.
She should never settle or admit wrong-doing. The government is the one that is wrong here.
What makes homosexuals any diferent than pedophiles or beastialists? From an aberration, abnormal, dysfunctional point of view?
“I will not tolerate discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation,” Mr. Ferguson said in a statement.”
But discrimination based on religious belief, that’s OK.
To summarize: You must be forced to participate in same-sex "weddings" - otherwise you are not entitled to earn a living. You do not have a right to be a person of faith who disagrees with this lifestyle and you must be shunned and forced out to the street, fined, etc. due to being who you are - we will not tolerate your right to live your own life. (Mr. Ferguson - do you fail to see your own hypocrisy and how your standards when applied to themselves do not work? She isn't harming anyone - she isn't taking their money for services she does no feel comfortable providing. She isn't harassing them. How about you stop harassing her?)
This is something that foolish leftists like Bob Ferguson will NEVER understand. I must say that he seems as smart and misguided as John Kerry! The people of Washington are electing agents of Satan who are leading them to chaos.
God Bless Ms. Stutzman!
Yet another exhibit for those who claim that those who insisted gay rights activists were attacking religious freedom were just psychopaths. No we were not, and their demands of acceptance and now of respect and even admiration, as emboldened as they have gotten, WILL lead to more waves of attack on freedom of religion for our citizens.
I’m probably wrong about this but I see this as more of a matter that the various ‘governmental drones’ are pushing at as many ‘buttons’ as they can to get someone, ‘anyone’, to commit actions that they can bring the full armed might of the government down on.
This particular issue is one that has extremely high emotional content to it and could be brought to a boil by using the MSM and various government ‘edicts’ and statements to enflame people.
I also think that the Washington State Attorney General has figured out this is a lose/lose issue and case for that purpose. As evidence I see the ‘paltry’ offer of a minimal fine and paying court costs instead of the life wrecking court judgement against the Florist.
She’s holding firm, public sentiment is on her side. I mean the REAL public sentiment not what the MSM allows out through their ‘editorial and reporting filters’. And at the same time the expected ‘hotheads’ haven’t materialized, at least not on her side.
And if this goes to a Jury trial... All bets are off for the government, the possibility of Jury Nullification is just too darn high for their side. And frankly they can’t afford to lose any case like this. To use a metaphor... A single pebble can cause a avalanche of unbelievable power and destruction.
A single florist, much like a single black lady at a lunch counter in Selma Alabama has the power to change America once again.
“My primary goal has always been to bring about an end to the Defendants’ unlawful conduct and to make clear that I will not tolerate discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation,” Mr. Ferguson said “
Sig Heil!
