A preemptive step to avoid fines, possible jail time (city ordinance requires art for gay weddings)

Two Christian business owners in Phoenix are hoping their legal challenge to a local ordinance will usher in a happy new year for them.
Artists Joanna Duka and Breanna Koski (pictured) believe in traditional, biblical marriage a belief that brought them into conflict with a Phoenix ordinance as owners of Brush & Nib Studio in the capital city (see more details on this case). The Arizona Supreme Court will decide in January whether to rule in favor of Duka and Koski or uphold a lower court's ruling that says the artists must comply with an ordinance that requires they do artwork for all weddings, regardless of their religious objections.
The attorney representing Duka and Koski explains this is a preemptive challenge meaning the artists are challenging this ordinance before they're found guilty of violating the ordinance, which requires fines and even jail time for guilty parties.
Waggoner "In terms of pre-enforcement challenges, this has been used in the Civil Rights-era many, many times, because Americans shouldn't have to wait to be thrown in jail before they can challenge an unjust law," said attorney Kristen Waggoner of Alliance Defending Freedom during an interview Thursday on Fox & Friends (see below).
Eric Fraser, the attorney representing Phoenix, says the artists in question want the court system to give them a "blank check" to refuse service to any same-sex couple that is requesting wedding products.

When moslem artists are required to do work for pervert "weddings" then maybe we can discuss Christians being required to do so.
And not a minute before.

Like the one who made the Stonewall Inn a "national monument".

As if there were Moslem artists.
Unless you consider homicide vests to be works of art.

They truly are militant. From another article that was about one of their parades.
[LGBT/Gay Pride
Parade & Festival]
Isaiah 3:9 New International Version (NIV)
9 The look on their faces testifies against them;
they
parade their sin like Sodom;
they do not hide it.
Woe to them!
They have brought disaster upon themselves.

This is why the LIBS closed mental hospitals in the 60’s. They knew that all LIBS are lunatics . They feared being involuntarily committed .

This entire unconstitutional fiasco could have been avoided if Gov. Jan Brewer had just signed the religious freedom bill that the legislature passed a few years ago.

They didn’t specify what style of
“art” must be displayed. I could
come up with a few themes that
would be completely out of character
for a gay wedding. I’m at a loss
though, as to what kind of art these
pervs deem appropriate. I envision
some guy biting a pillow.

I knew years ago that gays wouldnt be satisfied until everyone was forced to participate in and celebrate their perversions. Many here on FR predicted long ago that the end goal is to destroy the Church in America. The militant homosexuals won't be happy until every priest and pastor in every church will be forced by law to perform same sex marriages.
We are rapidly approaching that point.

I am so tired of militant faggots. A lot of people don't know enough about the agenda to be tired of them - yet.
Eventually, everyone will run up against the Gaystapo. And when they do, it will be a wake up call.

The Church is their prime target now, since the Gaystapo has conquered the military, the BSA, the entertainment and news media, the legal profession, the medical associations, and education at all levels. They will not tolerate the remaining bulwark against them.
Check out "Church Clarity" (https://www.churchclarity.org/) to see the psy-ops the left is waging. The website is purportedly about making churches "honestly post" their doctrinal positions regarding sexual perversion, but the intent is clear: to demonize Bible-believing churches and sick their goons on them.
I'll predict now that what will be their "in" most likely will be an attack on some homosexual or "trans" which will be connected with the preaching and teaching of some uncompliant church. The "hate crime" label will be hung around their neck and they will be forced to disband or capitulate.
