'You chose to attack my faith to threaten my very means of eating'
A Washington state florist facing ruin for her decision not to support same-sex marriage through her business has rejected out of hand an offer to settle a state claim of discrimination against her.
As WND reported this week, Benton County Superior Court Judge Alex Ekstrom authorized the state and the homosexual plaintiffs to pursue the business and personal assets of Barronelle Stutzman, including her home, in payment of damages and attorneys fees.
The Alliance Defending Freedom confirmed Ekstrom granted a summary judgment in the case against Stutzman, meaning it will not proceed to trial. A trial had been scheduled for March 23. But the ADF said it would be appealed.
Last month, Ekstrom ruled Stutzman was personally was liable for the claims against her, placing her business assets, her home and personal savings at risk.
The judge ordered this week that the state and the homosexual plaintiffs, each of whom filed lawsuits, could collect damages and attorneys fees from Stutzman.

Name. List.
Well my plan would be to pretend I lost all of my money. I would not let the government take my money even if I had to burn it
The judge AND the degenerates should be paid in lead ... what is lead going for these days in the commodities market?
I’m glad I knew America when it was till sane and healthy. This so-called ‘progressivism’ is cancer of a nation and it is metastasizing. Will America survive it? What measures can stop it?
No longer??
That constitutional precedent was made about 50 years ago with the Civil Rights act, private for profit businesses must serve blacks as they do whites as well as blacks who marry whites.
Its not being reversed.
Yes, gay relations is perversion. But legal gay marriage makes all those precedents apply to these cases
God will provide for her.
Not so easily done when like Stutzman you're a florist...
Sigh. It's precisely BECAUSE she's incorporated that this is happening to her. These are CORPORATE LAWS. She is being personally attached in addition to her business because she is a corporate officer.
Is right in front of everyone, yet no one gets it.
Don’t you just hate mixed stories... :>)
I assume homosexuals could buy flowers in the shop. The shop didn’t want to do something specifically supportive of the homosexual lifestyle/marriage.
Grow the flowers, cut the flowers, pack the flowers and give a referral for arranging the flowers.
Let’s say the Ebola Nurse had actually had Ebola. Would it have been illegal to prevent her from eating in our hypothetical jointly owned Pizza Parlor? I think I should be allowed to make such a decision. What if we hang up a sign: no shoes, no shirt, no service? Is that discrimination? I think not.
What if the sign says:
If I see the tattoo
You can’t see the menu
What if I call it the “Pizza Club”
And if you want a pizza, then you sign our statement of principles and restrictions and releases of liability and pay a one dollar membership fee.

Please ping me if you hear of a plan to take up a collection for this woman. She deserves our help. Thanks.
Please ping me if you learn of a collection or a crowd sourcing effort for her. Thanks.
A florist turns down a contract to furnish flowers for a wedding.
How in hell does that equal “personal injury” to the couple wanting to marry?
What did they suffer, that would justify this idiot judge saying they could take her business, home and personal wealth?
All the couple had to do is go to another florist.
I am going to try and call her tomorrow.
This is the dear lady they are suing because she gave them a referral to another florist. Rather than go against her beliefs to provide flowers for their wedding...as if they didn't have other options......I think gays will now look for Christian businesses so they can sue...and then ask for a settlement rather than go to trial etc...they are scavengers!
Suddenly consciencious objectors do not exist... But wait, she was not even enlisted in the State militia!
These fags are even more disowned than they were before, while she is owned by God.
This is the spiral of the wrath of the fags.
The war is with the master over these two degenerate minds. Make no mistake, evil directs the minds of these two and the judge who is serving them. That evil being wants to degenerate people and society, to spit in God’s face. It will be interesting to see how God will turn this evil assault on this woman as she stands steadfast. Paul explained what is going on with this episode. A judge over the people is enabling something that God has identified as an abomination. The judge and the two moral vermin will not defy God for long. Their fate is indeed an horrible thing to contemplate.
