I don't think a priest/church/religious person should be forced to
officiate at a wedding that he/she/it disagrees with on religious
principles.

I think a wedding is going into a legal contract that should be performed
by a justice of the peace or someone with the same authority.
Separately, or concomitantly, the religious aspects of a wedding should
be done in/with a religious institution with which there is mutual
acceptance of the views of all involved.

The purchasing/sale of flowers to the public is not a religious ceremony.
Therefore, flowers should be available to any person or institution
willing to pay the price of the flower seller. As a matter of fact,
other than the performance of religious acts, I cannot see anything that
would be subject to the religious views of the "seller".


What ever happened to to the right of a business owner to refuse service to
anyone?
