Think for a minute about everything Barronelle has faced.Yeah, well, think about the people Barronelle Stutzman discriminated against. How did they feel when they were refused service? To garner some attention for herself Stutzman decided not to sell flowers to a gay couple because they would be used at their wedding. According to the briefs it seems that Stutzman was enthusiastically waiting for a gay couple to ask for her flowers so that she could discriminate. Stutzman received precisely what she wanted. Death threats? That's as idiotic as refusing to sell flowers.
The State of Washington and the ACLU came after her. She’s been threatened with financial ruin. Her character and her professional reputation have been slandered in the media. She’s even received death threats.
ADF started trolling for “victims” when Washington became a marriage equality state in 2012. Wedding vendors were given an opportunity to be Christian heroes if they would persecute a gay couple by refusing to provide goods and services.
Furthermore, Stutzman was never threatened with financial ruin. She could have settled this matter for $5,000. Sanctimonious hypocrites like Ms. Waggoner have little regard for the truth. She hasn't paid one dime in legal fees which have been provided pro bono by ADF.
Waggoner's BS continues:
And do you know why Barronelle’s been treated this way? Simply because she chose to run her business in accordance with her Christian faith. Imagine how you would feel if you were Barronelle.The Supreme Court reaffirmed in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado that religion does not permit religious exceptions to otherwise valid law (citing Newman v. Piggie Park). In our society people are not permitted to inflict their “faith” on others. Suppose she had declined to provide flowers for an interfaith or mixed-race marriage. We would not entertain the excuse: “she chose to run her business in accordance with her Christian faith.” Not for a second. But gays are different.
Stutzman's case has been remanded back to the Washington Supreme Court to determine if the state acted with religious animus. ADF is quite proficient with Christian calculus. They have probably raised many times their expenses off of this case. They are still raising money off of this case:
