A pair of Arizona-based Christian artists is challenging the local law that threatens to fine and imprison them for refusing to make same-sex wedding invitations.

Joanna Duka and Breanna Koski, owners of Brush & Nib Studio in Phoenix, lost a case at trial level which accused them of violating a local ordinance that protects homosexuals from discrimination, Fox News reported.

The ordinance also prevents the business owners from publicly explaining their convictions or even defending their decision lest they face jail time for that as well. This apparent violation of the First Amendment protection of free speech is at the heart of the case.

Gov. Brewer had the chance to head this fascism off at the pass but groveled before the homoFascists and vetoed it.

My anger just boils!

That’s the coward’s way. The courageous way is to refuse up front.

What does that have to do with this local Arizona ordinance?

The Gaystapo is especially mad at these two because, being very young adults, they are already supposed to “be with the program” of enforced sodomy approval. So funny when the left finds out that all young people don’t follow lock-step.

Send the job out for someone else to do.

That's still acquiescence. I would do everything in my power to make sure that these homos NEVER found someone to do their perverted invitations: "I'm sorry, but there is no one I know of who will do them."
