Here we go again!
This time it’s a Christian couple that rent out their farm forweddings.
A lesbian couple wanted to get married on their farm and the Giffords(the Christian couple) said no because they believe that marriage is betweenmen and women (which it is!).
So the lesbian couple sue and a judge fines the Giffords $13,000 andthey have to “teach classes to their employees that impose the state’s view ofmarriage.”
Un-freaking-believable!
The state fines the Giffords for living by their beliefs and thenforces them to teach a belief they do not hold. How in the cornbread-hell this can be Constitutional I have no idea!
What gives the state the right to order what someone's person beliefs are?
And God bless the Giffords who have the courage of their convictions. They have decided not to have any moreweddings on their farm.
good you should not mistreat people because you believe god told you to they should get out of business or learn some decency
So wanting to live their lives according to their beliefs is "indecent"?
That's rather intolerant.

That's rather intolerant.
when what they believe in is discrimination against gay people ya its indecent and should not be tolerated
no different then if they were racists for god
we reserve the right to refuse service to any one...based on who they are and not what they do....ya that's decent ( sarcasm )
How about they decide how to live their lives. Nothing "indecent" about that.
No comparison, at all. Race is immutable. Behavior is not.

They can live their lives all they want that just can't host marriages at their farm and discriminate based on religion. I suppose you would like to give them the right to refuse Jews also. A public business must abide by the law. We don't give special treatment to any religion
o hey I cant choose what sex I am at will either
No comparison. Race is immutable. Behavior is not.
So whose discriminating against sex?
except for the gender based discrimination
or race based discrimination or discmrirnting against people based on religion
we have rules for businesses they have to deal with that
their just going to have to save their bigotry four their personal affairs and church
Which nobody is complaining about.

You mean freedom of contract laws?
Why are their beliefs bigoted and yours are not?

And a business run out of a home is pretty personal.their just going to have to save their bigotry four their personal affairs and church
I agree completely. This is another junk ruling that violates the wisdom of the historical allowances of the Mrs. Murphy's Boarding House exemption. Basically, exemption is a victory for common sense where the State declines to get involved in home based boarding businesses via aplying the Fair Housing Act.Un-freaking-believable!

strong comparison we don't choose are sexual orientation for me being hetero sexual is rather immutable
after all an interracial couple is a choice
these people at the farm apparently
face it your still racist if you wont serve a couple for being interracial
and you discmrirnting against people based on sex if you wont serve a couple for not having a complete collection of genders
an interracial marriage is not an immutable trait
just like a hetero or homosexual marriage
you cant choose your race or sex
but you can choose the race and sex of your partner
so the comparison stands and the people are no better then religious racists would be refusing an interracial couple
its kind of obvious
So excluding Jews WOULD be OK with you too? Unless they convert to Christianity of course. Can't you see why that is wrong?
actually people do complain about sex and race and religious dicmrnation
and I am bigoted against bigots your not?
minimum wage laws safety and health related laws and yes laws about discrimination we have those for businesses
