Owner Kristin Wolter temporarily closed her Memphis flower shop, Everbloom Design, after receiving a flood of death threats for posting that she will not serve Donald Trump supporters, which she is allowed to do based on the Human Rights Protection Act of Tennessee.

"I won't do business with people who support the president-elect. It is because I need to create a safe place for me, my staff, and my family," a since-deleted post on the shop's Instagram page read, according to reporting by WREG.com.
