She should have seen it coming.
A Los Angeles man on vacation in Ocean City stopped for a Tarot card reading on the Boardwalk. But card reader June Mitchell's dire prediction about her client's hereafter led to a public dust-up, a police investigation and a petition drive, the Press of Atlantic City reports.
Mitchell told client Jamie Cohen, 22, who is gay, that he was going to hell. After hearing a little more from Mitchell, Cohen stormed out without paying her $20 fee, and that's when things got really ugly.
According to the news account, Cohen returned to retrieve his cell phone, which he had left under his chair. He says Mitchell ordered him out of the store and, in front of a crowd, used an anti-gay slur.Mitchell admits using the word, but says Cohen called her a Gypsy; Cohen denies this. Mitchell also says she was upset by Cohen's reaction to the reading and the way he left without paying.
Mitchell says she had not meant to offend him.
"I wanted to make him happy," she says.
A born-again Christian, Mitchell says her religious doctrine opposes homosexuality.

If someone is different than you are but is not hurting anyone, then why do you care? Live and let live, especially if you are going to say "what would Jesus do?"
Suffer no teh gay to live!!!1!... lol...
See just because you can string 3 words together in a sensational manner doesn't make you cool, right or even intelligent "God Hates Fags"
If you really want to go after some homosexuals why not start with the Catholic Church? Afterall, atleast homosexual men consent to what's being done to them; the kiddies however not so much. You would keep yourself busy for the rest of your useless life while clearing the rift raft out of your "devine" organization. Hmmm but then would would teach Sunday school? Eh, deal with one issue at a time before your ears start smoking.
And being called a Gypsy "(is a) member of a wandering race (by themselves called Romany), of Hindu origin, which first appeared in England about the beginning of the 16th c. and was then believed to have come from Egypt"
Woo big words indeed, god forbid anyone ever call me German or Canadian because then it's really going to get ugly *insert sarcasm here*
"I wanted to make him happy" - nice try at PR lady but too little too late don't you think?
As for being a "born-again Christian" well that's the universal symbol of Crackpot!!! Nice how the The Bible could use that quote to put you into perspective and how religion is just used for your benefit only and is otherwise ignored.
Leviticus 20:27 (King James Version)
Lev 20:13
'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
The whole thing is pretty stupid.
Toughen up, lad.

Ummm, June? Perhaps you should look up "hypocrisy"? Oh, and the Bible says FAR more against fortune telling than homosexuality.
