Barronelle Stutzman, a 70-year-old grandmother, wouldn't provide flowers from her shop in Richland, Washington, for the 2013 wedding of Robert Ingersoll and Curt Freed.
When longtime customer Ingersoll came to Arlene's Flowers and asked for the flowers, the devout Southern Baptist told him her 'relationship with Jesus Christ' wouldn't allow her to do the wedding.
The man was a long time customer. It had been alright to take his money up until then??? She could have saved herself a lot of trouble if she just said she was sorry but had planned a vacation for that time period.
You have the right to associate with who you want. Christians and Islam does not accept Sodomites.
Skin color is not a choice for a person, SO if a Black person does not choose to associate with Chinese people THERE IS NO PENALTY IS THERE???
This is the same concept. Islam and Christians choose not to associate with anyone choosing to be a "perversion of nature." The fact that Sodomites in power ARE forcing sodomite associations on people who do not want to associate with them and provide them THEIR LABOR, does not make the law just. In fact it is disenfranchising other people in favor of them. NOT GOOD.
It took middle of the road people like me to join forces with people who never,ever accepted them on any terms. These people are going to find themselves totally isolated, eventually if they start THEIR OVERTHE TOP INTOLERANCE OF OTHERS.
Don't equate choice of switching birth gender to choice gender with natural birth of skin color and ethnicity, that is just pure ignorant and perverse of facts. Go ask some Black pastors and Black folks on this: They all will tell you your position is pure bull*rap. Give it up. You have no game.
The law has nothing to do with whom individuals may "associate". Do you not understand the difference between a business offering services to the public and an individual's interpersonal relationships?
re-read............she is not hiring....she is selling goods
See the bolded part?

I make it a point to seek employees I want so I don't list jobs where it might attract those I don't want to deal with.
I also ask questions and research anyone or any company I buy materials from to make sure they don't employee those of the Muslim faiths or support causes I am against. That's my right.
I sell to only those I approve. As a wholesale company I have that right. I protect my customers by not selling to competing retail outlets and have other limits.

Apparently his money was fine as long as he and his partner were living in sin.

Associating with someone with like religious moral personal beliefs in a NON business setting is fine. You're right nobody can force you to sit diwn have a drink or get together with other religions or skin colors etc. It's a personal setting. People need to differentiate between their personal beliefs and business. Too bad many are too stupid to understand the differences. In a business you don't get to discriminate as if you would in a personal setting

Apparently.
I do wonder how she rationalizes that little bit of hypocrisy.
