"GoFundMe bans anyone accused of ‘discriminatory acts’ from fundraising…like this elderly Christian florist"
GoFundMe has again shut down the support page of a beseiged business whose owner believes in Christian morality.
A campaign to help Barronelle Stutzman, a Christian florist being sued because she declined to take part in a homosexual “marriage” ceremony, has been canceled by the fund raising website.
Stutzman, who owns Arlene’s Flowers, referred a longstanding homosexual customer to nearby florists, because she could not in good conscience create custom arrangements in support of his same-sex “wedding.” The homosexuals sued her, and to help pay mounting costs, Stutzman set up a GoFundMe page.
Now GoFundMe has shut down the page and banned her pro-marriage cause, just as it did Melissa and Aaron Klein, Christian bakers being fined for refusing to participate in a separate same-sex “marriage” ceremony.
GoFundMe announced the ban in a blog post titled, “Protecting Our Community.”
Not only did Stutzman employ homosexuals at Arlene’s Flowers, but for nine years she served the very couple now suing her.

To save time & confusion, whenever you see the overused, deceptive term 'community' substitute 'commune' and all will make sense.
And in so doing GoFundMe commits a “discriminatory act”, albeit a non politically correct one.
does this include discrimination against abnormal behavior groups? after all it is only about loooooove.
Start searching for pro-homo and pro-Islamic / terrorism gofundme project pages and give’em so much hell they’ll want to get out of the business altogether. You know damn well how tolerant the intolerant preachers are...double standard two-faced $&#%s
I guess this is a lesson. If these gays were her customers for nine years, they were probably friendly with each other, and she probably didn’t expect to be sued by them.
Contact GoFundMe and demand they bake and sell you a cake. Any kind of cake.
By the way...
1) the baker would refuse to sell tires to the customer
2) the baker would refuse to sell a homosexual-themed cake to a heterosexual customer, or a red-headed customer, or a female customer, or an Eskimo customer
3) the baker would refuse to sell a Nazi-themed cake to a Nazi customer, Jewish customer, Communist customer, homosexual customer, and heterosexual customer
4) most likely, the baker would sell a plain ol’ chocolate cake to a homosexual customer, and even a homosexual Muslim Nazi customer from the Pacific Islands.
For liberals, it’s GoFundMe.
For conservatives, it’s GoF***You.
They just need to divide the site into two categories. The “pasture” where the sheeple go and the “mountains/forest” where the wily and wary hang out.
Tells you pretty much everything you need know about these people.
Wonder if the address of the "couple" is contained in the court documents.
I heard how they treated this elderly florist a few weeks ago. Is this article saying she reactivated her funding page on GoFundMe, only to be shut down a second time?
Either way, she needs to try Samaritians’ Purse, a funding organization by Rev. Franklin Graham. Go Fund is not going to change. They’re moneyrich, and don’t have to pretend to be diplomatic or even humane. Move on from them.
That’s really sad. The Stutzmans should call my wife’s cousin Vinny who’d pay the “ladies” a cordial visit and suggest dropping the lawsuit in order to avoid a wooden shampoo or wearing cement overshoes and sleepin’ wit’ da’ fishes.
Get a conservative version of “Go Fund Me” and problem solved.
Time for a conservative alternative to this bastion of toleration.
A neutral one would be acceptable to all.
Some bright spark at VISA or Mastercard should present a case for a funding arm.
They already have a tested and proven system that could be online in a short time.
Good PR for them
We all know what will happen then - the sickos will camp out on your funding site's doorstep, demanding some perverted cause be funded by them. When refused, they'll sue.
Tolerance doesn't cut it any more, any site that won't bow to their cause is a target.
You think this nice little old lady was the only florist in town?
“Discriminatory” by their leftist lights. people do discriminatory things all day every day
They didn't sue her...at first. Their story reached the ears of WA's AG Bob Ferguson (D) who sued Barronelle under the WA Consumer Protection Act which forbids discrimination due to being a homo among other things. The two homos involved then joined the suit either out of ideological conviction or a desire to get some money out of the situation.
Not that it matters much but Barronnelle's shop is in Benton County, WA, which turned down a recent referendum approving same sex marriage by about a 2-1 margin (it passed statewide).
It appears Ferguson is out to crush Stutzman as an example to others that they will not oppose the homosexual juggernaut and its Democrat enablers. Consider this: the WA State Constitution stipulates (Art I, section 14): Absolute freedom of conscience in all matters of religious sentiment, belief and worship, shall be guaranteed to every individual, and no one shall be molested or disturbed in person or property on account of religion; but the liberty of conscience hereby secured shall not be so construed as to excuse acts of licentiousness or justify practices inconsistent with the peace and safety of the state; but neither that provision, nor the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution has made a smidgen of difference in this case.
Liberal Fascism at its finest.
Well if they had any decency they could have told the AG they did not want to join the suit and would testify in her defence.
