The fed gov can and does have such a law, but it does not cover sexual orientation.

“All persons shall be entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations of any place of public accommodation, as defined in this section, without discrimination or segregation on the ground of race, color, religion, or national origin.”

“Your offer reveals that you don’t really understand me or what this conflict is all about,” Ms. Stutzman said in a letter to Mr. Ferguson. “It’s about freedom, not money. I certainly don’t relish the idea of losing my business, my home, and everything else that your lawsuit threatens to take from my family, but my freedom to honor God in doing what I do best is more important.”

This is something that foolish leftists like Bob Ferguson will NEVER understand. I must say that he seems as smart and misguided as John Kerry! The people of Washington are electing agents of Satan who are leading them to chaos.

God Bless Ms. Stutzman!

Yet another exhibit for those who claim that those who insisted gay rights activists were attacking religious freedom were just psychopaths. No we were not, and their demands of acceptance and now of respect and even admiration, as emboldened as they have gotten, WILL lead to more waves of attack on freedom of religion for our citizens.

Yes, we must destroy diversity of opinion in an effort to encourage diversity.

I’m probably wrong about this but I see this as more of a matter that the various ‘governmental drones’ are pushing at as many ‘buttons’ as they can to get someone, ‘anyone’, to commit actions that they can bring the full armed might of the government down on.

This particular issue is one that has extremely high emotional content to it and could be brought to a boil by using the MSM and various government ‘edicts’ and statements to enflame people.

I also think that the Washington State Attorney General has figured out this is a lose/lose issue and case for that purpose. As evidence I see the ‘paltry’ offer of a minimal fine and paying court costs instead of the life wrecking court judgement against the Florist.

She’s holding firm, public sentiment is on her side. I mean the REAL public sentiment not what the MSM allows out through their ‘editorial and reporting filters’. And at the same time the expected ‘hotheads’ haven’t materialized, at least not on her side.

And if this goes to a Jury trial... All bets are off for the government, the possibility of Jury Nullification is just too darn high for their side. And frankly they can’t afford to lose any case like this. To use a metaphor... A single pebble can cause a avalanche of unbelievable power and destruction.

A single florist, much like a single black lady at a lunch counter in Selma Alabama has the power to change America once again.

A correction!

My lovely and dear wife corrected me in that it was the Black lady refusing to sit at the back of the Bus, not the Lunch counter incident.

History... so many thing have happened and they can and do get jumbled up in my memory.

“My primary goal has always been to bring about an end to the Defendants’ unlawful conduct and to make clear that I will not tolerate discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation,” Mr. Ferguson said “

Sig Heil!
