That woman doing most of the talking has issues with a few "deadly sins" herself, so she's hardly one to talk about who she will and won't "serve."

Ugh.

There's more than one florist in that piece--two are named, three others are mentioned and not named--all bigots. Shame on them.

"Let he who is without sin..."?

Say what you want, ask for money because people on the Internet say you're wrong (and kind of an asshole).

Like minded people give you money and notes saying that they are part of the group you've expressed hatred for, thus making you feel like you've won.

Unfortunately, this also crushes the small and hard-won bits of faith in humanity of those of us who try to be decent people.

I'm sure that no one wants to visit her shop, and hopefully her gofundme stays empty as well.
