The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Friday (July 2) to hear a case from a Christian florist challenging Washington state law which forced her to provide her services for same-sex weddings.
Justices Clarence Thomas, Thomas Alito, and Neil Gorsuch declared their willingness to hear the case but other conservative-leaning Justices such as Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett did not join the vote putting the case below the threshold necessary for a ruling.
Washington state and the American Civil Liberties Union first sued florist Barronelle Stutzman of Arlene’s Flowers in Richland, Washington in 2013 for refusing to design flower arrangements for a gay couple’s wedding because of her faith-based objections.
The florist served gay customers Curt Freed and Robert Ingersoll for “nearly 10 years” but when she drew the line at supplying flowers for their wedding ceremony, the Washington attorney general banned Stutzman from “discriminating” against gay couples. The Washington Supreme Court upheld the ban, even after SCOTUS asked the state’s court to keep the landmark Masterpiece Cakeshop ruling into account.
Alliance Defending Freedom General Counsel Kristen Waggoner called the outcome “tragic” in a statement….
The above comes from a July 2 story in the Federalist.
Determined homosexuals will try to force compliance in every quarter. It’s all about power.
And seriously, with the number of gay florists, it’s a stereotype that holds true, there are plenty of vendors to choose from.
All stereotypes are generally true, although not universally true. That’s why they’re stereotypes. They exist for a reason. There’s nothing wrong with stereotypes. It’s like saying most children like mac ‘n cheese. That’s a stereotype, and it’s true for overwhelmingly most kids but not for all kids. Don’t let the left bully you into not relying on stereotypes, especially racial stereotypes, which have proven to be as true and as wise to rely on as ever over the past twelve months. People who ignore stereotypes when considering going to certain cities or neighborhoods are likely to be victims of violent crimes. Never let them tell you that your fear of surging crime in the big cities is a manifestation of your racism. It’s based on what’s true.
A logical question for the Supreme Court: The next step will be for gays to force the Church to preside over gay marriages inside neighborhood Parish Churches. Looks as if the Court will try to avoid this also.
Another step in the progression of Gay Power over the Catholic faith
I have been so sorry for this poor lady, ever since hearing the Supreme Court turned her case down. This is not America. This is horrifically evil! I hope and pray that somehow, God will bring Ms. Stutzman correct and true justice. Gay “marriage” should be illegal, as well as all gay pervert sex acts.
Howcome this post got mistakenly printed twice?
SCOTUS Justice Anthony Kennedy should have been kicked out of the Catholic Church for the horrifically wrong and immoral “Obergefell” decision. Shame on Justice Anthony Kennedy and shame on SCOTUS!
Howcome this post got mistakenly printed twice?
Thanks for fixing it!
Hey YFC I thought your crowd just wanted to be “left alone” to “love” who you wanted…
I’d love to hear YFC’s comments on the recent release of the SF Gay Men’s choir video where they sing about coming for your children. I wont put the link in here as it disgusts me.
Not a fan of YFC’s opinions but I do pray he will allow the rainbow scales to fall from his eyes.
bohemond:
I owe you a cold beer.
Well said.
So Facebook and Twitter can ban President Trump and other conservatives because they are private companies and don’t have to let opposing viewpoints be heard, but a simple florist can’t do the same? Typical left-wing politics. Disgraceful!
I am disappointed in Justices Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett.
They aren’t on the court to do what you want them to do. They are there to adjudicate impartially.
“They aren’t on the court to do what you want them to do. They are there to adjudicate impartially.” In all my years on Cal Catholic, I have never read a comment so void of insight as this one. Let me ask this anonymous this one question: if what you say is true, why would democrats threaten to increase the number of justices in order to pack the court with pro-aborts?
Whereas, homosexuals, after complaining much about being subjected to discrimination and appealing for equality, after having acquired much sympathy and goodwill from a public that is concerned with all citizens being treated fairly, have acquired for themselves significant political power. Whereas, they have used their acquired power to further ends that go far beyond their stated goals. Whereas, the law now recognizes that homosexuals are superior to the Constitutional rights of other American citizens. To wit: the Constitutional right to free speech is no longer guaranteed by American law if a homosexual demands that an American citizen produce speech that the American citizen finds to be offensive. Whereas, after benefiting much from public goodwill, homosexuals have abused that goodwill and established for themselves in the eyes of the law Homosexual Supremacism. Whereas, they are now proving the veracity of a well known belief that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
It was never about equality. The pretense of seeking equality was a strategy to get a toehold that would allow them to do what they are doing now. Look at what the SF gay men’s chorus sang: “We’re coming for your children.” They are all perverted. They are all disordered. They are all pederasts, and they just proclaimed it in song. Gay is pure evil.
(continued from above)
Whereas, they are now becoming a menace to the public that showed them kindness and goodwill. Whereas, our rights are being eroded by Homosexual Supremacism, it is most befitting for them to loose the goodwill that they have abused and for the public to become aware of Homosexual Supremacism being established by law.
Washington State AG is Catholic-educated and Jesuit-trained as SJW.
I don’t think the Masterpiece Cakeshop ruling was a landmark at all. SCOTUS ducked the big issue. They ruled in favor of the Cakeshop because the Colorado Civil Rights Commission had been hostile to his religion. The bottom line was both sides have rights and they did not rule on the freedom of religion issue at all. They said that the state has the right to enforce laws that gay people have the same right to services as everyone else.
