Christian florist Barronelle Stutzman has agreed to settle with the same-sex couple that sued her for refusing to serve their wedding – capping off nearly a decade of litigation in one of the most iconic First Amendment cases this century.

On Thursday afternoon, Stutzman's attorneys sent the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) an agreement to withdraw her Supreme Court petition in exchange for them declining to pursue further legal action. The 76-year-old grandmother told Fox News that she's retiring and leaving her business, Arlene's Flowers, to its employees.

Went to the link to try to determine the city/state.

Only reference/clue was "Washington Supreme court".

The ACLU represented these creeps......probably footed the Attorney fees as well.
As for LGBT however you want to mix these deviants, they’re all living on the dark side.

I don't remember the exact wording of the quote but Antonin Scalia remarked after Obergefell v. Hodges, (2015), affirming 'gay marriage' saying, "This ruling will go far to deny any criticism of these unions and what may be beyond it."

He was right of course.

Gaydards and the like are frankly untouchables for me. Not interested in their mental health issues nor their bedroom lifestyles.....certainly not their opinions on anything.... They’re screwed up mentally or they just prefer sex where the sun no longer shines.

As for the woman they opted to go after because “she hurt our feelings” I hope God blesses her with a wonderful retirement.

I know the lady, neighbor. She remains upbeat and a good Christian throughout the ordeal.

“The 76-year-old grandmother [is] retiring and leaving her business, Arlene’s Flowers, to its employees.”

That won’t be good enough for the Gaystapo. They will still hound her and throw frequent terroristic threats her way. They are rabid animals.

Cake Baker Jack Phillips is getting older too.
I suspect he will look for some similar settlement just to stop the grinding away at his peace of mind and his bank account. Both parties have kept the fight going for quite a long time.

Keep in mind that it’s our illustrious “conservative“ Supreme Court which finished her off. It had the clear chance to protect her and others like her, and failed to do so. In fact, it put the bludgeon in the hands of the Gaystapo.
