Posting this because I notice some issues:
1. The "rant" of the B&B owner actually makes some good points which go unanswered of course. True, this is not the era in which one should state these things openly, but she does make valid points.
2. Had the "lesbian Mom" simply respected the B& B's right to display the "Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day" sign, as well as the right to define marriage traditionally and to exercise religious liberty, all would be well.
There are B and Bs which do not mind gays in the least.
But they gays do seem to PICK these fights, after which they....
3. run off and start a petition DEMANDING APOLOGIES on Change.Org :
" Whitebriar Bed and Breakfast, Green Cafe, Farm and Camp: Apologize for their discriminatory public statement":

Awesome. Patronize that B&B! Excellent answer. We are all tired of that marginal, extreme element of society ramming their Godless practices down our throats. Enough already.
I love the apology demand.
Look at the age of the owners and their current stance.
I’m 58 and am already getting that “I’ve got nothing to lose” mindset. It’s pretty clear it’s gonna be a cold day in hell before these people come back with anything resembling an apology.
I suspect they would be willing to lose their business over this. They probably figure they could use the free time.
That was not very “Christian” of the owner to thank God for AIDS. It’s crap like that which makes all Christians look like fools.
Is this woman a Westboro Baptist supporter as well? Does she picket the funerals of American Soldiers? She sure seems like she would be up for it.
The thing that this lesbian mother doesn’t understand is that there are plenty of people that will support these B&B owners against someone trying to ruin their business.
We went to Chick-Fil-A last night and were behind a couple explaining to the manager that they’d never tried the restaurant before but due to the owner’s stance and the resulting firestorm from the LGBT community, made a special trip to try it.
After we were served, we sat by someone that was discussing his choice of Chick-Fil-A in much the same terms. He was explaining to his son that while they couldn’t go there on 8/1, they were there now supporting the restaurant the best they could.
I wonder if maybe the tide is slowly turning in this country and conservatives, church-goers and people with plain ole good American values are finally fed up? I sincerely hope so!
Wow! I thought all B&B’s were owned by gays. How refreshing!
It looks to me like the lesbian cast the first stone and then ran to her activist friends when confronted with simple free speech that she did ask for.
It’s high time that somebody tells these folks that there are a dramatic differences between tolerance, acceptance and submission. Stating a differing opinion and not taking action against someone is tolerance. Acceptance is acting with support of a position. That has not yet been legislated. But, submission is the involuntary support of a position that the intolerant activists demand of the tolerant.
Some of you won’t like this but here goes anyway, stupid comment by a supposed “Christian” especially the part about aids. If it costs her her business then I don’t really care. Should not have made that comment.
Sometimes I wonder why the ones who call themselves “Christian” always seem the least Christian like.
All conservatives should speak out the same way. If the child’s mother was so secure in who she was it would not matter what and elderly couple owning a Bed and Breakfast think or do. She opened that door up by publicly addressing the two.
Words can hurt. Gays and their lifestyles are interfering with the lives of all of us. They expect to beat us down with law and deny us any rights. They want to show porno in schools to show our children how to fist each other, have sex with the same gender and safe sex with the beasts of the earth. This is not an exaggeration. There are public schools that show these films and teach this trash.
And then they turn around and call us evil for disagreeing and saying no. They want us to embrace evil and forget that a better life can be created and lived. They will never know real happiness, but we can. We have the right to limit what our children are exposed to and who we wish to associate with.
Now, off my high horse.
Wow she gave that lesbian a tongue lashing//!!//
I just looked at FB. These people are being hammered by the Leftists. It’s a massive flashmob of hate. Homos and Obamabots (redundant, I know) are spamming their wall with every name under the sun.
While Lokan-Mooore does address some important issues in a reasoned way, the comment about AIDS wasn’t a smart move.
Don’t overplay your hand.
God has instructed us how to live our lives. He did so in part so we could avoid disease. I don’t believe he created AIDS to take out homosexuals.
The part about ‘in your face’ homosexuality was a great point that is seldom made. Enter the AIDS comment and nobody will ever hear the great point that is seldom made.
Maybe the B & B owner should change the sign to “Intolerant Gay Stormtrooper Thought Police not welcomed.”
What is the animals were gay - her son wouldn’t know anything about animals.
I’m not gay or lesbian, but that response made me uncomfortable. That said, these two people might have coexisted peacefully had the media and politicians not existed. Think about it. This woman wanted to visit a petting zoo (I take her at her word, though it’s suspicious that she never did before posting the facebook taunt) with a boy. Had she arrived at the zoo with the boy or the boy and another woman and acted as modest people do in public, they would have patronized the zoo and gone home without incident.
The merchants both happily operated businesses for years most likely serving homosexuals without incident.
One day a newspaper asks a provocative question. The honest answer causes news outlets to swarm on the story and political opportunists to slither to press conferences to take advantage.
Some boycott, others patronize — not because they desire the services of the businesses but because they want to make a political point.
Polite people get angry and anger other polite people.
Honest to God, the answer to all of this is to turn off the TV and put down the paper. Vote your heart but discuss issues politely. You are going to engage in discussions with people who will not be influenced — disengage.
Misguided, depraved, vindictive, self-destructive, hedonistic, self-centered lives hurt others as well.
The “rant” is fake.

I am making a $25.00 donation to these fine folks and mailing it directly to them. I have also tried to call but the phone has been busy for a while.
So I emailed them from their site expressing my support.

The “gay agenda” folks and their backers and supporters throughout society continue to demonstrate, in word and in deed, that they are really not about “tolerance” and “diversity” - people with a sense of values and tolerant of others’ LEGAL right to hold other values - but about converting all of society, by law, to their set of values.
What they seek from the law, cannot be obtained through the law - social acceptance, which is a different condition and does not use, or require, the law (well, at least it SHOULD not).
They have the mistaken notion that just because the law accepts their status that all private relationships, social and commercial must accept it to, within those relationships. That is not the case. Being equal before the law only means government and government activities must treat you equally. Socially, acceptance and respect come only from those willing to give it; it cannot be taken from them.
