INTOLERANT, HATEFUL BIGOTS! HATERS GONNA HATE
Not intolerance against queers:
“Same-sex attracted individuals have never
lawfully been forced to attend different schools, walk on separate
public sidewalks, sit at the back of the bus, drink out of separate
drinking fountains, denied their right to assemble, or denied their
voting rights." - Nor the right to bear arms, have a speedy trial, practice free speech, religious liberty, the right to due process, probable cause, etc.
But intolerance BY queers:
- New Mexico Christian photographers
Jon and Elaine Huguenin were sued by two lesbians under the state’s
“sexual orientation” law after declining to photograph the lesbians’
“commitment ceremony.”
- The Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association in New Jersey, was
convicted of “discrimination” after two lesbians, Harriet Bernstein and
Luisa Paster, decided to hold their commitment ceremony on the
Methodist-run association’s popular family friendly boardwalk. After
that, Ocean Grove quit the wedding-hosting business.
- The Aloha Bed & Breakfast in Hawaii, a Christian business, was
forced to “accommodate” two Southern California lesbians after a judge
ruled the B&B violated state law when the owner told Taeko Bufford
and Diane Cervelli she wasn’t comfortable having them stay together in
her home due to her religious beliefs. Aloha has since been ordered by
the state “to provide a room to any same-sex couple that wishes to stay
there.”
- In Illinois, Christian B&B owners Jim and Beth Walder are being
sued by homosexual activist Todd Wathen, who demands monetary damages,
attorneys’ fees and “an order directing [the Walders] to cease and
desist from any violation” of the state’s Human Rights Act.
- Vermont’s Wildflower Inn paid a settlement and shut down its wedding
reception business after the ACLU won a $10,000 civil penalty for two
lesbians. The settlement also requires the inn’s owners to place $20,000
in a charitable trust for the lesbians.
- Oregon’s “Sweet Cakes by Melissa” bakery shut down after declining to bake for a “gay wedding.”
- The owners of Indiana’s “Just Cookies” were charged with
“discrimination” under the city’s “sexual orientation” law for refusing
to fill a special order for “rainbow cookies” for an LGBT group.
- Iowa’s “Victoria’s Cake Cottage,” whose owner Victoria Childress
refused to provide a wedding cake for a homosexual couple out of
“convictions for their lifestyle.”
- Oregon’s “Fleur Cakes,” joined “Sweet Cakes” in refusing to bake a
wedding cake for a same-sex couple and is being boycotted by homosexual
activist groups.
- Washington state’s “Arlene’s Flowers,” whose owner Barronelle
Stutzman declined to provide flowers for the wedding of a same-sex
couple who had long frequented her shop, faces two lawsuits after
refusing to fill an order because of her “relationship with Jesus
Christ.”
- Texas’ “All Occasion Party Place,” a Fort Worth venue, refuses, on
religious grounds, to rent out a banquet hall for same-sex wedding
receptions.
- A Christian T-shirt maker in Kentucky was targeted by the
Lexington-Fayette Urban County Human Rights Commission for refusing to
print “gay pride” designs for a local homosexual group.
- Chris Penner, owner of the Twilight Room Annex bar in Portland, was
fined $400,000 under the Oregon Equality Act for excluding transsexual
men who, dressed as women, had been alienating other customers by using
the women’s restroom. According to the Seattle Times, 11 people –
calling themselves the “T-girls” – “will get the money, with awards
ranging from $20,000 to 50,000.”
- The Catholic Church was forced to shut down successful adoption
agencies in several states because it opposes adoption by homosexual
couples.
- Christians have been kicked out of college counseling programs
because they oppose homosexuality and therapists are prohibited by law
from helping young people overcome unwanted same-sex attractions.
- Cynthia and Robert Gifford, owners of Liberty Ridge Farm in Schaghticoke, New York. They were fined $13,000 and ordered to start serving same-sex clients
by the courts in New York after a lesbian couple wanted to use the
Giffords’ farm for their “wedding,” and were refused.
Jack Phillips owns and operates
Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood, Colorado, and has been in business
since 1993. Two local men approached him in 2012 and asked for a wedding cake,
which Phillips said was against his conscience. He told them he had no
problem making them birthday cakes, cookies, brownies, shower cakes –
anything but a wedding cake, which he believes should be only for a man
and a woman. The Colorado Civil Rights Division ordered him to reverse his policy,
educate his employees on how to serve all clients equally and submit
quarterly compliance reports to make sure he has fully removed his
religious views from his business decisions.
