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

Only reference/clue was "Washington Supreme court".

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.

“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.

“According to the settlement with the ACLU, Stutzman agreed to pay $5,000 to the same-sex couple and will retire from her business”

Marriage is between one man and one woman and ordained by our Creator. May God bless this woman for taking a stand for the truth.

There is an all-Black Yacht Club on the Anacostia River.

Racial exclusivity is a point of pride for the members and slip holders.

It is a private business.

I don’t know much about it, because it’s not really my business to know.

Also, I don’t care. I don’t care to join.

I believe people should do as they please.

I happen to be a Jew. If Jimmy’s Shoe Shop down the street had a sign outside saying “NO JEWS,” I wouldn’t darken their door. I imagine that would hurt their sales somewhat. I might publicize their intolerance.

Perhaps I am crazy but it seems to me it is more dangerous to live in a society where government forces private enterprise to do as government pleases than live in a society where the actions of a few might offend me.

After all, it is the Nazis who promoted and made mandatory, in phases, the bans on Jews and Jewish businesses. Had the matter been relegated to a hands-off approach at the government, permitting, etc. level, I suspect that it would have been found that things such as Kristallnacht were bad for business.

Alas, now we have sort of a low-grade Kristallnacht every day, ironically under the banner of diversity and inclusion.

There was probably no other option when the Trump supreme court judges refused to hear her appeal.

Even though I may have more in common with the plaintiffs than the septuagenarian grandmother, I believe creative expression should not be compelled. Only people who are not artists could argue an individual’s creativity and expression can be compelled. In the design world, sorry, you can say, “Sorry not interested in that project.” And not live in fear of losing everything. I am horrified the ACLU targeted her personal finances, not just the business where they might have some argument for public accommodation

I guess butt buddies aren’t very forgiving.

Exactly. They are insatiable. And in this case, they win again.

In general, homosexuality is gross and immoral.
In the case of homosexual predators who use lawsuits to bully their victims, it is as evil as it is with homosexual predators who use rape to bully their victims.

The fact that this stupid case has been ongoing for a decade simply shows that our legal system is seriously broken.
