Stay Away From Petals and Promises Wedding Flowers, Once Again That's Petals and Promises Wedding Flowers

Up there in Canada, you know, with their marriage equality and health care and stuff, a florist in Riverview, New Brunswick is in a bit of a thorny situation. It seems that she is refusing to provide wedding flowers to a same-sex couple, according to the event's planner. 

See, the florist, Kim Evans of Petals and Promises Wedding Flowers, that's Petals and Promises Wedding Flowers, agreed to provide the flowers for a wedding, but after finding out that the marriage was for a :::gasp::: same-sex couple, Kim Evans of Petals and Promises Wedding Flowers sent out the following email:

"I am choosing to decline your business. As a born-again Christian, I must respect my conscience before God and have no part in this matter."

Well, good for you, Kim Evans of Petals and Promises Wedding Flowers; good for you.

You go ahead and discriminate against gay couples because, in your head, that's what god wants. But keep in mind that it's illegal in New Brunswick to do so. And keep in mind, Kim Evans of Petals and Promises Wedding Flowers, that now that the word is out that you are a bigot and a homophobe, you won't be getting many gay customers--which I'm sure is just fine by you and your stony little heart--but you also won't be getting any business from straight couples who don't like discrimination, from straight couples who can still remember when, in certain parts of the world, just a few decades back, there were signs on windows and doors, and drinking fountains, making sure the "colored" people didn't use the same things as the white folks did.

And that's what you're doing.

So, Kim Evans of Petals and Promises Wedding Flowers, again, that's Petals and Promises Wedding Flowers, hang a sign in your window that says Straights Only and see how long you stay in business.
