I’m a Florist, But I Refused to Do Flowers for my Gay Friend’s Wedding

Are you still going to be friends after that?

Apparently not. After the "friend" asked for the flower display and she explained how she couldn't do the display for faith reasons, Baronnelle referred him to several competitors whom she felt could do the job well. The "friend" thanked her, they hugged and said goodbye and that seemed to be the end of it... Until the "friend" decided he wanted to go militant and try to destroy Baronelle's livelihood and lawyered up for a lawsuit. The little faggedy POS stabbed a Christian, 70-year-old grandmother in the back. I hope hell has a special place fo him.

Sounds like she was over-inflating that whole friendship part. Friends don’t sue other friends.

I am so sorry for your loss. A child’s mental illness and addiction are devastating hardships to endure. May you find peace and healing.

"Read the comments at the site. Given, this is a liberal rag, but even so, this country is sliding to Gomorra.

Reading those comments simply reinforced my belief that this issue is as much about people hating Christians as it is about people supporting gays.

For many Christian-haters, this issue gives them what they have always wanted - a chance to use the law to actually punish Christians. You could just feel the seething, anti-Christian hate at the WaPo website.

I have no reason to think she's making it up or exaggerating it. The guy - Rob Ingersoll (if that's his real name) - is simply an a**hole. Anus worshippers are very sick people.

More than likely she was never his friend and he was never her's.

"I have a libinlaw that was adamant that it wasn’t a choice. I mean vehement and emotional about it."

The gender theorists try to play it both ways. They will insist that homosexuality is inborn, and ten minutes later they will be saying that gender has nothing to do with our bodies or our actual sex organs, and that it can be based on psychological self-identification, and can even change from one thing to another during the course of a person's life. In other words, gender is reduced to what a person SAYS it is, NOT anything inherent in our bodies or genetic makeup.

That’s a core part of Humanist assumptions - that the human is capable of defining reality (right and wrong, good and evil) for himself at any time and even in contradiction to what he’d defined it as microseconds before.

This is what was meant by the founder of their worldview when he said
“you will be as gods, knowing good and evil”.

The last thing gays should desire is the discovery of a “gay gene”. Liberals would paint themselves into a corner on abortion, as there would undoubtedly be abortions where the “gay gene” is present. I’m not saying it’s right, but that’s how I see it.

So gay bakers should be required to make wedding cakes for breeders?

It’s getting confusing.

“I say chose, because it is a choice. The scientific literature based on twins separated supports this.”

More people need to be made aware of this fact. Even the not separated twins studies clearly shows it is a choice probably influenced by environment. The results are obvious to any reasonably intelligent reader.

I see no reason to doubt that she saw him as a friend. She seems like a very sweet lady and she probably didn’t expect their to be a problem since she was very nice about referring him to someone else for flowers for this specific occasion.

ONe of my son’s chose a gay life style. I say chose, because it is a choice. ...My son lived a tortured life, fighting drug and alc addiction as well as “fightin” the compulsion to be with the same sex...

With all due respect, why would he, or anyone, freely choose a lifestyle that brings so much hellacious misery to them?

So why do identical twins have different personalities, if their genetics are, literally, identical?

Her “friend” is suing her. Has he ever really been a friend?

I’m a photographer and I refused to do a photo shoot for a couple wishing to do porn. It was against my Christian values. I dare anyone from the politically correct totalitarian camp to arrest me or do me financial harm.
