Fox News 15 July 2021
Family First Comment: Christian florist Barronelle Stutzman is encouraging others to maintain their faith in God as she deals with the fallout of what she described as a “devastating” decision by the Supreme Court. For nearly a decade, Stutzman has been fighting a lawsuit over her refusal to serve a same-sex wedding for religious reasons. After the Washington Supreme Court twice ruled against her, the nation’s highest court declined to take the case in what conservatives saw as a missed opportunity to bring justice.

Christian florist Barronelle Stutzman is encouraging others to maintain their faith in God as she deals with the fallout of what she described as a “devastating” decision by the Supreme Court.
For nearly a decade, Stutzman has been fighting a lawsuit over her refusal to serve a same-sex wedding for religious reasons. After the Washington Supreme Court twice ruled against her, the nation’s highest court declined to take the case in what conservatives saw as a missed opportunity to bring justice.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which sued on behalf of the same-sex couple, Curt Freed and Rob Ingersoll, argued that Stutzman discriminated on the basis of sexual orientation.
Stutzman has maintained that her beliefs lead her to serve everyone equally. Prior to the suit, she spent years serving Ingersoll. “Rob and Curt – they have every freedom to live as they want and I’m just asking for that same freedom,” she said.
Amid the adverse ruling, the 76-year-old grandmother is standing by her convictions and faith in God.
