    I agree "businesses" like this need to be sued until they are forced to close up for good.

    I would be willing to bet that left wing anti-Christian bigots would still provide services to the Christians. Therein lies the difference.

    Better be ready to lawyer up then, because you're going to get sued. And you'll lose. Again.

    It's just common sense, you want a wedding ceremony? Sorry, we're all booked up. You want a Wedding cake.....Sorry, we're all booked up. You want flowers.....Sorry, we're all booked up. Life is just full of disappointments.

    I expect that with time and practice that will become the norm. Follow some adaptation from Lois Lerner school of 'culling the herd'.

    Yeah, that certainly seems the Christian way to go! Honest all the way!

    Cute couple. Good that they bring the law breakers to authorities.

    You'd think the idiots would've figured this out by now. Maybe though, the christian part of them won't allow them to LIE?

    What are you doing to sue on? Discrimation? Good luck proving that

    - - - Updated - - -

    But it is ok to sue a business because they don't want to do business with you bc your gay? That make a lot of sense.

    I really don't care, I wouldn't serve them as customers anyway. They'll hear a litany of excuses till they go elsewhere.

    not sure about that, do court fines get wiped away during a bankruptcy?

    anyway, this is a family farm, doubt they want to risk losing the farm.....

    And then you would be sued and hopefully shut down.

    You bet. Sue because you're being charged an exorbitant fee based solely on your sexual orientation. And sue for a helluva lot more than a piddling $13,000. The ACLU will take the case gratis while the "business" is up to its eyeballs in lawyer fees. No luck needed in proving it at all. A subpoena of business records will speak for itself.

    Yep, it's OK to sue a business because of discrimination. In fact, it's encouraged.

    The business owners made the right decision. They stopped offering a service because the laws regarding offering such services violated their religious beliefs. Good for them. That's how it should be. I have no problem with that. End of story.

    In other news, the world is still spinning.

    Then be ready to pay your earthly penalty and quit whining about it.

    Discrimination is all fine and dandy until Christians are discriminated against for being Christian.

    But that's not what happened here. They offered a service to the public and then failed to deliver on that offer. They did the right thing and stopped offering that service because it violated their beliefs. I appreciate that. They actually did the right thing. Their business will be fine. I have no doubt.

    I am not charging you a based on your sexual orientation. And even if I were you can’t prove it. I am charging you price based off what you want in your wedding, my overhead costs, libbilty etc. It is my private business and I can charge you what I want.

    Nope sorry you can't. Price gouging is a federal crime.

    There are two types of bankruptcy: Chapter 7 is when you are restricting. You have some way to make profits. 11 is when you say you’re done. You’re folding up. Rurl Metro, I company I used to work for filed for Ch 7 in New York this year. As a result their debts have been whipped well they go through this re-strucing.

    Hasn't the government always acknowledge Christian treatment better to theirs? Look at the Teen challenge success rates compared to government ones. MOD EDIT - Rule 2
