Two Arizona calligraphy artists faced with fines and jail time for declining to take part in promoting gay “weddings” are asking the state’s Supreme Court to hear their challenge to the city of Phoenix’s law that compels them to create artwork that violates their religious beliefs.

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) OTTAWA, August 17, 2015 - A 26-year-old Mennonite missionary was violently stabbed in the back on Friday by a pro- LGBTQ woman who became aggressive after he shared with her his Christian beliefs regarding homosexuality. “The confrontation was about the idea of homosexuality…if that’s OK, if that’s acceptable, and whether God loves somebody who is in that state. And we assured her that he does,” said Eric Brubacher, a member of the Mennonite community who was present during the attack, to CTV. The unnamed victim was rushed to the hospital where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries and then released. The attacker fled the scene of the crime. The stabbing occurred in the Byward Market area three days prior to the opening of Ottawa ’s “ Pride Week ” where homosexuality is celebrated and promoted ope...
