Those Nasty Anti-Gay Catholic Florists!

This world has gone completamente loco!

From Andrew Sullivan's "The Daily Dish":


Connecticut now allows all citizens to marry. But some are worried:

The Connecticut Catholic Conference today proposed some broad exemptions which it believes are necessary to protect [religious liberty]. The [marriage equality] law does not require Catholic priests -- or any other clergy member -- to preside over same-sex weddings. However, the church is seeking additional exemptions. For instance, it wants to ensure that a florist opposed to gay marriage on religious grounds not be forced to sell flowers to a same-sex couple.

Seriously: it would violate someone's religious liberty to sell and arrange flowers for a gay married couple? And how many florists - florists - are anti-gay?

A reminder that not all domestic Mullahs are evangelicals. I am trying to get my head around the pathology that would lead someone to even think about gay marriage with such detailed intolerance. What form of crackpottery makes people this obsessed over such nonsense given the current condition of the US?
