Suit: Gay Couple Gets 'Hateful' Flyers, Not Wedding Programs
Necn.com ^ | 01/17/2018 | Associated Press / NECN

A gay couple says in a federal lawsuit that a printing company sent them pamphlets with messages about temptation and sin instead of the wedding programs they ordered for their special day.

Stephen Heasley and Andrew Borg sued Vistaprint on Tuesday in Massachusetts. They were married in Pennsylvania in September.

The couple's lawsuit says they were horrified to find the package they received the day before their wedding contained pamphlets with "hateful, discriminatory and anti-gay'' messages. They say they hope their lawsuit sends a message that "there will be consequences for acts of hate.''

The printing company went on to say they are hoping to establish a dialogue with the couple so together they can use this incident as an opportunity to shine a light on important LGBTQ issues.

Vistaprint officials say they are investigating the incident to determine how and why the couple received the materials.

This is none of the feds constitutional business at all. “Gay rights” at the federal level are patently unconstitutional. Time to fight back and shut down these unconstitutional federal laws and acts.

So does Vistaprint actually print things or do they contract it out to printers? Either way, it looks like Vistaprint is going to lose this (assuming this wasn't another hate crime scam).

“They were married in Pennsylvania in September.”

No, they weren’t.

Investigate the hell out of this. Vistaprint is a rather prominent company. It’s doubtful anything like this would be allowed to happen.

Vistaprint is reliable but would probably have deep pockets.

Hoax.

Regardless of the blame it’s quite humorous.

Here’s a possible theory: a disgruntled GAY employee sent it to them, hoping to ignite a fire.

Almost all of these alleged incidents are hoaxes, and the above theory would fall under that category, just with a twist.

The couple's lawsuit says they were horrified

First clue this is BS: most people wouldn't be HORRIFIED. Talk about over dramatizing. Most people would say, "Who's the jerk who sent this" or "whatever" or "what a d-bag". But HORRIFIED? I doubt it.

Gay men tend toward a parody of feminine behavior. I can see them breaking down in sobs as they throw themselves onto a fainting couch, like a 14 year old middle school girl...

Think, "...drama queen..."
