I’ve been a florist in Richmond, Wash., for more than 30 years. In that time, I’ve developed close relationships with many of my clients.
One of my favorites was Rob Ingersoll. Ingersoll came in often and we’d talk. Like me, he had an artistic eye. I’d try to create really special arrangements for him. I knew he was gay, but it didn’t matter — I enjoyed his company and his creativity.
Then he asked me to create the floral arrangements for his wedding. I love Rob, and I’d always been happy to design for his special days. But there’s something different about a wedding.

If your friend won’t sue, I’m sure someone else will manage to get standing.

He better not do it - it would offend Muslims.

That’s what happened to another florist lady.
Her friend didn’t sue, but some vindictive leftist AG found out about it and sued.

I have to say that the sheer venom in the comments is breathtaking. This woman is suffering for her faith in ways that many of us may come to know before its over.

Sorry, Mr Vindictive Attorney General, but I’ll receive death threats ending in “Allah Akbar” if I cater the wedding.

And now, we finally know the rest of the story. I'm pleasantly surprised the Washington ComPost even printed it.

If your friend won’t sue, I’m sure someone else will manage to get standing. According to the article:
Even more surprising, Rob and his partner Curt, with their ACLU attorneys, filed suit shortly thereafter.
So it looks like the ACLU successfully convinced the two fags to file suit and that lifelong friendships mean nothing in the face of advancing an agenda.

To: Vigilanteman
Baronelle Stutzman's statement is a model of graciousness.
The comments after the article are amazing in their malice.
