This woman denied selling flowers for a gay wedding and since that is not legal in Washington, she was fined $1,000 for discrimination. Some people got wind of this, set up a GoFundMe, and have raised over $100k for her. The last donation was three minutes ago.

Lemme tell y'all what burns my biscuits about this story. This old white bitch was fined for doing something illegal - and petty - and is now being portrayed as the victim. Not the gay couple who were discriminated against. First of all, the fine was only $1,000. If people really wanted to help her out, then earn enough to pay the fine and be done with it. What happened instead, was people began donating as a political statement. And not just to show their support for her, but to proudly support anything remotely anti-gay. $156,712 was so fucking unnecessary. Think of everything they could have actually done with that money. Fed starving children or the homeless, donated to school systems, literally ANY charity. But instead they threw their money @ Anna Mae because they're living vicariously through her bigotry.
And honestly she's 70 and will probably die any day now. What a waste of $156,712.
