Our paper ran another guest editorial to answer last week's guest editorial. I read it but found it hard to follow (probably because I am on the other side of this issue) http://www.tri-cityherald.com/opinion/opn-columns-blogs/article45725397.html
To me it is simple. You can believe whatever you want (look at Tom Cruise) but you can not discriminate. Put any other class of folks in the place of the two men who wanted flowers - no, I will not provide my artist expression to your wedding because you are black, mixed race, Jewish, Muslim, Hispanic, Unitarian (mine own special class :-), not virgins, too old, and it can go on and on and on. She would need a check off list on her door.
The artist statement still is a new addition to this argument I'm pretty darn sure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barronelle_Stutzman
