Victoria Childress: I'm Being Oppressed!
"I’m being attacked because of my beliefs – my convictions to their lifestyle. It’s really hard to read things like that. I’m a pretty quiet, soft-spoken person. But when I stand up for my convictions against things, I’m very strong when it comes to that. People are telling me they were proud of me for standing up for my beliefs because not many people do that these days. Business people are afraid to because they’re afraid to lose money." - Iowa wedding cake maker Victoria Childress, who is now the subject of a boycott for refusing to work for a lesbian couple. Commenters on the linked Fox News piece are vowing to send checks to Childress.
