Whadda racket....refuse service to gays and get rich. You can finally close down that doggy money losing joint and get outta town at the same time. I wonder if that would work for dentists too...? RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) A florist in eastern Washington state fined $1,000 for refusing to sell a same-sex couple wedding flowers and also facing a consumer-protection lawsuit has netted more than $85,000 in a crowdfunding campaign. The Seattle Times reports that nearly half of the money on the gofundme.com page set up in February for 70-year-old Barronelle Stutzman came in the last several days. Supporters compare Stutzman's benefit page to an Indiana pizza shop that raised more than $800,000 after closing when the owner said the shop wouldn't cater a gay wedding. Stutzman, owner of Arlene's Flowers and Gifts in Richland, Washington, received the fine in Benton County Superior Court in March after refusing to serve a same-sex couple in 2013. Stutzman says same-sex weddings go against her Southern Baptist beliefs. _____________________ Photo: Wikimedia Commons / MGN Copyright 2015 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
