• Summary: «And now, a word from reality. The "gay rights community" hasn't done anything at all to this woman. She has violated the law by discriminating against her customers. And no, there is no reason for her to lose her business at all. She was offered a settlement for $2001.00 and refused it. And even after that, she faces only a $4000 fine. The plaintiffs in the case did not ask for punitive damages, they asked for less than $8 for the cost of the gas to drive to her store. That's it. And she's more than welcome to continue doing business as long as she doesn't discriminate. And she could do that not by doing the flowers for gay weddings but by not doing flowers for any weddings, the business for which is a mere 3% of her revenue.»
