So selling flowers to a Muslim wedding, or even an atheist wedding, doesn't compromise her Christian values, but for a same-sex couple it does? Another hypocrisy rears its head.

You faggots are vermin.

But I would do business with faggots at twice the cost that I would charge a hetero customer.

That's my advice.

Sell you succubi anything you want at double the price.

A dozen roses will cost you a hundred bucks.

Take it or leave it......................PUNK !

I wonder if a Muslim florist would sell flowers to the couple?
Last checked, they're down right cruel to perverse people.

In affirming a lower court’s finding, the Supreme Court said flatly that it agreed with the couple — flowers were not really the point.

[Document | Arlene's Flowers Washington Supreme Court Ruling A florist who refused to sell flowers for a same-sex wedding cannot claim religious belief as a defense under the state’s anti-discrimination laws, Washington’s high court said in its decision.]

The case, the court said in its 59-page decision, “is no more about access to flowers than civil rights cases in the 1960s were about access to sandwiches.” And laws, the decision said, can have legitimate social goals. “Public accommodations laws do not simply guarantee access to goods or services,” it said. “Instead, they serve a broader societal purpose: eradicating barriers to the equal treatment of all citizens.”

I, for one, would not argue with the court's above logic behind its ruling.

Well, if they wouldn't, they would/should fall under the same ruling.

A Muslim would only sell a homosexual flowers after he had made sure the homosexual was singing soprano castrato.

Very possible, but I would like to think it would not happen within our nation's borders. That kind of barbarism would be far more likely in the middle east.

I am amazed at how many Muslims own liquor stores. I think that many enjoy having the freedom to decide for themselves what and who to hate. The goal for most is prosperity not hatred.

Who are you to determine what does or doesn't compromise someone else?

Considering tht Sharia law is practiced here including genital mutilation, murder of unfit infants, sexual slavery, I thing you are naive to believe that male homosexuals would not be castrated before becoming the servants of Muslim men.

I am not naive enough to believe that nothing is impossible within our borders. I wrote that "I would like to think it would not happen within our nation's borders." Besides, I'm not sure that has anything to do with your comment, "A Muslim would only sell a homosexual flowers after he had made sure the homosexual was singing soprano castrato." How does that relate to a male homosexual being "castrated before becoming the servant(s) of Muslim men." It seems a stretch to make the connection.

That is true, but at the same time are we not creating hate by forcing someone to perform or act against they're beliefs?
Religion aside, does she not have any rights afforded to her, or are all rights deemed " knull and void " depending on the opposition?
I mean, I ll be damned if I would want to be forced to work for somebody I don't like for any reason.
Although, I would hope my reasons would be for more reason than this incident.
When I used to build furniture, queers were some of my best customers, but thats me, and it didn't really bother me.

At the same time everything wasn't so damn politicized back then either, thus my question, do the actions taken against the Florist, breed more hate?

It was fine selling them flowers before, but once the word wedding came up, then the florist decided that there was a problem. Where was the outrage before? Where was the judgement before?
