Washington State Judge: Florist Must Do Gay Weddings

Look at this video from ADF about the Washington (state) florist Barronnelle Stutzman:

A state judge has just ruled, incredibly, that not only Ms. Stutzman’s business but also her personal assets–her home and savings–can be targeted to pay off the lawyers and the gay couple.

Her crime? Refusing to do wedding flowers for a gay couple. She had been their florist for years, and had no problem until they asked her to do their wedding.

Look how much this government and this gay couple are willing to hurt a lovely woman in order to create their dream America: they never have to encounter a florist who doesn’t do gay weddings because she doesn’t believe in them.

Almost 6 in 10 Americans disagree, but until social conservatives get serious about organizing real political institutions to fight this discrimination, it won’t stop.

So sad, such hatred, and so unnecessary. Surely we can do better across our disagreements than a punishment so disproportionate to the non-crime.
