A Pennsylvania Christian bridal shop owner who refused to provide wedding gowns to a lesbian couple because of her religious beliefs was bullied by the lesbians on Facebook, where their post about the shop owner’s refusal to serve them went viral. The New York Daily News reports the lesbians, who tried to schedule an appointment at W.W. Bridal Boutique in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, were “unidentified,” but said the owner – who was identified as Victoria Miller – told them she “[does] not service same-sex couples.” “We feel we have to answer to God for what we do,” Miller told The Press Enterprise. “And providing those two girls dresses for a sanctified marriage would break God’s law.” Subsequently, the two lesbians turned to Facebook, which led to online listings for the bridal boutique to be downgraded to one-star reviews. “Jesus made everyone feel welcome, shame you are not a follower of Christ,” one man commented on Facebook. According to the News, the Bloomsburg Town Council is meeting Monday night to discuss the incident and whether to propose legislation that will ban businesses from refusing to serve LGBT customers, potentially providing the couple the means with which to sue Miller. Miller says she has hired an attorney to help defend her in the event a lawsuit is filed. Her shop’s website appears dark, and the status of her shop, as listed on Facebook, is “permanently closed.” A photo, contributed by Phillip J. Lagomarsino, next to her shop’s listing on Facebook, states, “Your beliefs don’t make you a better person, your behavior does.”

Some people have the courage to look Satan straight in the eye and tell him to shove off.
That would be lying and she can’t do that and obey God.
you can love others and wish no harm come to them... but that doesn’t mean you must condone or adopt their behaviors
Jesus didnt fling open the gates and started handing out all access passes.
he was handing out the map on how to get to the gates with the hope of getting in
Are these filthy deviants TRYING to make me hate them? Because it’s starting to work...
Actually of all the things Jesus ever said one thing comes to mind in a situation like this one. “Satan get behind me!”
Let the libturds HAVE Facebook. It is virtual reality. We will take real reality over that.
Don't you mean "We are the 1.6%?" You have to add in the Bisexuals to get up to 2.3%
Can you imaging the grief some Newsy would get for calling a GBLT (pronounced 'giblet') spokesweenie on their real share of the population?

At the risk of being crude, effing absolutely!
I only buy my flowers from gay florists because they “know”.
WFT!

Our new gay pharisees. Same tune, second verse.
It’s a curious question; but still there was some custom work to be done. It’s not like this was an off the rack bridal store (best bargains! made in China!)
In response to Peter telling Him that He would never be crucified.
The headline sounds like the title of a porno.
That is a great idea.
Being gay themselves they can cater to the “community” and know best what they like. It is a goldmine idea.
(of course that really isn’t what they want)
Also when he was in the desert.
No actually he didn't. He made quite a few non repenting sinners very uncomfortable according to scripture. Christ did not endorse nor condone sin. Paul in Romans ch. 1 addresses homosexuality. For homosexuals too try and legally force upon anyone a violation of their conscience before GOD in order to serve homosexuality is no less as wrong than the ISIS acts being done in Iraq.
The homosexuals via the feral activist courts are taking from a person their means to provide food and shelter for their families. Such is done in order to force them to submit via court ordered blackmail and extortion the service too homosexuals in what is traditional religious venues. In that respect it's time for civil disobedience to such demands.
There is no endorsement of homosexuality in The Bible in the NT nor OT. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed due to homosexuality. It was considered so evil that Lot offered his daughter to the men seeking to rape his guest {God's angels}.
Wow, the comments on Beitbart are startling! So many comments that are in favor of the bridal store owner have been deleted. Most comments come from pro-homosexual advocates or homosexuals themselves.
It’s an unfortunate truth that the psy-ops and media bombardment of the pro-homosexual agenda has yielded much fruit. From time to time I see it on this site as well; in fact on this very thread where someone twists the words of Jesus with a cutsie pic and an pithy internet meme.
We are not called to comdemn; that is up to God. But we CAN judge others who are immoral, so long as we judge our own selves by that same standard.
That is to say, one cannot admonish people for using drugs if they are alcoholics. One cannot condemn someone for being a fornicator if they are on their third marriage. However if a person is bonded to another in monogamous matrimony, then certainly he can “judge” those who would dare make a mockery of matrimony, those who engage in counterfeit marriage and demand that others bow down and acknowledge that union.
To judge someone means to acknowledge that what he does is immoral, when you, yourself, are not guilty of that immorality. We are then exhorted by God to tell such people The Word and to go and sin no more. If they do not, we are to turn away from them and not be part of their sin. It’s simple really, but so many misunderstand this truth.
Correct! He said "Go and sin no more." By denying favors to homosexuals, these business owners are not saying, "We hate you!" They are saying, "Go and sin no more and I will be here for you when you return."
Do you really own that business?
