"GoFundMe bans anyone accused of ‘discriminatory acts’ from fundraising…like this elderly Christian florist"

GoFundMe has again shut down the support page of a beseiged business whose owner believes in Christian morality.

A campaign to help Barronelle Stutzman, a Christian florist being sued because she declined to take part in a homosexual “marriage” ceremony, has been canceled by the fund raising website.

Stutzman, who owns Arlene’s Flowers, referred a longstanding homosexual customer to nearby florists, because she could not in good conscience create custom arrangements in support of his same-sex “wedding.” The homosexuals sued her, and to help pay mounting costs, Stutzman set up a GoFundMe page.

Now GoFundMe has shut down the page and banned her pro-marriage cause, just as it did Melissa and Aaron Klein, Christian bakers being fined for refusing to participate in a separate same-sex “marriage” ceremony.

GoFundMe announced the ban in a blog post titled, “Protecting Our Community.”

Not only did Stutzman employ homosexuals at Arlene’s Flowers, but for nine years she served the very couple now suing her.

I sense that “let’s just agree to disagree” still prevails.

“accused”? Why did they set the bar so high? /s

That is deeply offensive and remarkably provacative.

I hope an enterprising person starts an alternative to GoFundMe, let them rot.

Wait, I thought you couldn’t refuse to do business with anyone if you oppose their beliefs.

Yeah, but then some individual who totally disagrees will just demand to be serviced or sue the new site out. Get it?

Didn’t GoFundMe fund a murderer so he could get a lawyer?

It doesn't.

Companies that support and sponsor the homosexual/"progressive" agenda will not tolerate dissent from within.

Hate to pop your balloon, but if it is a seperate company that is only for conservatives, not going to happen. I am very confident of that.

Does your bakery serve balloons with “conservatives only” cake?
