These TB sufferers are really starting to make me angry and you don't want to see me angry.

Once again, I feel that a private business owner (florist, baker, B & B owner etc) has the right to refuse service to anyone based on their moral/religious viewpoints.
These TB sufferers are really starting to make me angry and you don't want to see me angry.
what, not enough tulips for them to tiptoe thru?!
I would have sent ‘em, but I would have had my dogs pee on ‘em first...
Personally, I’d have just charged them a premium and done the gig, but it’s absurd and evil that the state is suing them. We either own our businesses (and therefore, our business decisions) or we don’t. Apparently, in Washington state, we don’t.
Counter sue. The business has the right to refuse service to anyone.
Is gay marriage legal in WA? If not, then this should be an easy case to win, and counter sue. Get a settlement, open more stores, with a motto something like “We will not service illegal services” don’t use the word “gay” “homosexual” but let it be implied.
Watch business skyrocket.
Profit.
So another victim of left wing politics is forced onto the public dole. Nice going.
Fire State Attorney General Bob Ferguson. There are plenty of laws that he doesn’t enforce, and he’s made it clear what his priorities are.
God bless you Arlene Stutzman. Standing your ground as a believer is a sign to opposers of the Gospel that they will be destroyed, and that the believer will be saved.
Same sex marriage is legal in Washington.
Everyone get ready for many more lawsuits such as this one to any business that doesn’t go the gay way. Church’s will be sued by the feds too. It is all part of the destruction of this country agenda.
How about those moose slime cab drivers who wouldn’t take drunks, or dogs (even seeing eye-type) as passengers??
Based on their “religion”.
“Personally, I’d have just charged them a premium and done the gig”
Exactly. My friends do the same thing. especially when these ass clowns customers drive in a Prius with Odumbo stickers on them and my buds simply jack the price more than 75%.
“You didn’t build that”. Why would you think you own it? How long until churches are sued for refusing to marry homosexuals?
“... we either own our businesses or we don’t”
I guess we do when it comes to taking the risks and working the hours but not when choosing what opportunities to accept or decline. What bothers me if the demanding of acceptance by gays/lesbians. It isn’t going to happen for many Americans. They can get all dressed up, send out their invitations etc.. but at the end of the day, many Americans won’t see their “union” as equal.
Refuse service to someone for your own reasons, then get sued.
America has been screwed for a long, long time.
“As Attorney General, it is my job to enforce the laws of the state of Washington,” said Ferguson. “Under the Consumer Protection Act, it is unlawful to discriminate against customers based on sexual orientation.
So based on this it would unlawful for the florist to not allow a pedophile to send a dozen red roses to a 10 year old.
If this is allowed, why couldn’t the AG sue a church that refused to allow a same-sex marriage?
I’m guessing the florist doesn’t own any guns, or we would already be reading that they had been confiscated.
