Stuart Dinenno (above right), the owner of Botanica Atlanta Landscape Design in Atlanta, Georgia, refused service to a gay couple and then said it was because their marriage is “very perverse and foolish” and a “delusion.”

Colton S. of Sandy Springs, Georgia wrote a review of the company on Yelp after experiencing the denial: “Contacted today about a very large project in Sandy Springs. The owner asked if the work was for me and my wife, I said no me and my husband and he replied that he wouldn’t be interested in working with us.”

Dinenno responded: “Yes, this is an accurate description of what happened. When doing a large landscaping project it is necessary to work with the homeowners closely over several months through the design and installation phases. I can’t do that, all the while going along with the delusion of two men calling themselves a married couple, with one man referring to the other man as his husband. It’s very perverse and foolish, and needs to be called out as such.”
