I've bought flowers before and only gotten a receipt.
Please note, a PURCHASE at a retail establishment (ie buying flowers and getting a receipt) is different than a CONTRACT that 2 peeps agree to for a specific, individualized, private, one-time service, for an outside event, not usually held at the retail location.
Retail purchase vs. contracted one-time, special service.
IE, eating at a restaurant vs. a catering contract for a specific outside event. (think grasshopper)
At its very core, marriage is a legal contract between two adults. It is unconstitutional to deny a person the right to enter into a contract based on their gender.
That's a very interesting point you made. If you want to split hairs here (and it might be worthwhile to avoid the whole religious angle in the first place), the couple could also argue that if she claims she wasn't being homophobic, she was at least discriminating against them on the basis of gender, ie them being two men. There's more than one way to skin a cat. . .
She did not discriminate. She followed her lawful right to her religion. We must be inclusive in this country and allow people to have different life styles and values than we do. We cannot force our views or lifestyle on others. It is bigoted to do so. Live and let live. Freedom to all.
I would suggest she post a sign stating she does not want homosexuals business and that should take care of it.
Sounds just like the 1950's with a sign that read, "No Coloreds." What year are you living in anyway?
So, let me get this straight (hah). There are millions of innocents kids dying all over the world from diseases, wars and starvation, but the Almighty, All Loving God ignores them. . . but instead would punish a florist for merely selling flowers to a gay couple? Is that what's going to be the show stopper at the gates of Heaven? Really?
What about all the other sinners that the florist serviced in his life? Like a straight couple that used the Second and Third Inputs(R) to spice things up in bed. Or a boy that pursued self-fulfillment, as evident from his hairy palm. Or divorcees. Or people who work on Sabbath. Not the same.
Your pics are an example of ignorance. The florist did nothing to stop the guys from getting married.
