ADF says court 'narrowly' interpreted 2018 Supreme Court decision
The Washington Supreme Court has again ruled against Christian grandma florist Barronelle Stutzman who faces the risk of crippling fines for refusing to create floral arrangements for a same-sex wedding.
The state’s highest court unanimously upheld its 2017 decision, leaving Stutzman on the hook to pay thousands in legal fees for violating the state’s non-discrimination law that protects on the basis of sexual orientation.
The U.S. Supreme Court vacated the Washington court’s 2017 decision last June and sent the case back to the court for further consideration in light of the court’s 7-2 ruling in favor of Colorado Christian baker Jack Phillips. Phillips was accused of violating Colorado’s discrimination law for refusing to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding.
The Supreme Court asked the Washington high court to consider whether or not there was any animus against the florist’s religious beliefs when the lower courts ruled against Stutzman previously.
The court found in Phillips’ case that the Colorado government did display religious hostility to the baker’s Christians beliefs on marriage and sexuality.

I live in the town just over from where she lives. She had served this gay couple for years. It is when it came to doing their wedding that she objected because she believes marriage is between a man and a woman. Like most of us do.
I don’t know, but I hope the public has been generous with their legal fees.

As someone who designs wedding ensembles, I made up my mind that I would gladly design an invitation for a same sex couple, and I would donate 100% of the money they pay me to a Christian defense fund. I might even add that to the contract. Then they can decide if they want their money going to my chosen fund.
Sure. Go ahead and cave. Who cares about liberty anymore? Free country my ass!
later.
We have the Constitution remember?
Yet there is a beautiful hymm called “This Is My Father’s World”.
Whatever happened with business signs that read, “No shirt, no shoes, no service”? Seems a business should be able to serve or not serve anyone they wish. It’s their business, after all. Or maybe everything in America now belongs to the King.
Or tell them you’re not available on their special date, you have too many orders that day or you’re closing that day for vacation. Either actually close or later tell them you had a change of plans. Never ever admit it’s because you don’t do business with scum.
Evasion can only take you so far. Eventually, you’ll have to face them with your open refusal. Then your evasion is revealed as cowardice.
I will have to look up the him and listen to it, thanks.
It was pretty good although I like like smother music in hymms, a pretty voice.
Oh, not all. Let a leftist-brought case come before them and the opinion is decisive and effective nationwide.
