This Is So Sad

Gay Couple Force Christian Florist to Retire – PJ Media

After nearly a decade of litigation, Christian florist Barronelle Stutzman has agreed to settle with the same-sex couple who sued her for refusing to serve their wedding.

The couple, Rob Ingersoll and Curt Freed, were apparently unable to find any other florists for their same-sex wedding and will be paid $5,000 in exchange for no longer pursuing any damages against Stutzman’s business or personal assets.

Stutzman, a 76-year-old grandmother, told Fox News that she’s retiring and leaving her business to its employees.

“We’re all in trouble – whether we’re religious or not – when we don’t have the freedom to live consistent with our faith and our beliefs, when I don’t have the freedom to run my business according to my beliefs, live my life according to my beliefs,” she said. “Rob and Curt have every right to live the way they do and the way they feel with their beliefs, and I’m just asking for that same [right].”

If I ever open a business again, I’m putting a big sign on the door that will read:

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE TO ANYONE, FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER.

This may be because:

  • We don’t like your hair
  • We don’t like the way you dress
  • We don’t like your body odor
  • We think you wear too much makeup
  • We think you don’t wear enough makeup
  • You’re straight
  • You’re gay
  • You’re a woman
  • You’re a man
  • You’re non-binary
  • You’re cisgendered
  • You’re transgendered
  • You’re tall
  • You’re short
  • You’re thin
  • You’re fat
  • You’re obnoxious
  • We’re just feeling cranky that day
  • You arrived one minute before opening
  • You arrived one minute after closing
  • Your car needs a new muffler
  • Your socks don’t match
  • You’re not wearing any socks
  • We just don’t like you

In short, as the top line says: WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE TO ANYONE, FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER
