A Washington state florist facing “ruin” for her decision not to support same-sex “marriage” through her business has rejected out of hand an offer to settle a state claim of discrimination against her.
As WND reported this week, Benton County Superior Court Judge Alex Ekstrom authorized the state and the homosexual plaintiffs to pursue the business and personal assets of Barronelle Stutzman, including her home, in payment of damages and attorneys’ fees.
The Alliance Defending Freedom confirmed Ekstrom granted a summary judgment in the case against Stutzman, meaning it will not proceed to trial. A trial had been scheduled for March 23. But the ADF said it would be appealed.
Last month, Ekstrom ruled Stutzman was personally was liable for the claims against her, placing her business assets, her home and personal savings at risk.
The judge ordered this week that the state and the homosexual plaintiffs, each of whom filed lawsuits, could collect damages and attorneys’ fees from Stutzman.
“The message of these rulings is unmistakable: The government will bring about your personal and professional ruin if you don’t help celebrate same-sex marriage,” ADF Senior Counsel Kristen Waggoner said at the time.

I would remove the insurance on both places and burn the son of bitches down before I would hand them over to queers and the state.
ReplyDeleteYes, she could move to a cheaper state and get by off her SS I assume.
DeleteRemember when the homosexuals said what they did in their bedrooms was nobody's business?? Leave us alone, and we'll leave you alone? Their base behavior requires so much effort to sustain their rebellion against their conscience — their Imago Dei — they cannot salve it alone. Now they demand acceptance. And they have found their weapon: Government. It is no longer acceptable to 'not care' about the homosexual community. You will be made to care. Prepare for the Rainbow Jihad.
ReplyDeleteThey should arm up, then.
DeleteUntil Americans drop people like the Judge and ADL representatives, this disease will only spread.
ReplyDeleteall wedding related business nation wide should prominantly display a sign which states that all proceeds from homosexual weddings will be donated to (westboro baptist church/anti-gay organization of your choice).
ReplyDeletein other words, dare them to fund the opposition by using your services, or find someone else.

DeleteHope is catches on.
The state and gays assume that their law overcomes natural law which the state is required to protect. The state is leaving itself open to serious financial losses by not defending the individuals right to practice their religion. It will likely take a couple of years for the natural law to overthrow the state law so there will be chaos until then.

DeleteA good explanation.
