Ohio same-sex couple accuses videographer of discrimination
CNN ^ | March 16, 2015 | Jareen Imam

A community is rallying around an Ohio couple who says they were denied wedding services because of their sexual orientation. Jenn Moffitt and her partner Jerra Kincely were on the hunt in February for a wedding videographer. She sent an email asking video production business "Next Door Stories" in Bexley, Ohio, if it would cater to a same-sex couple. She was shocked by the response. "Unfortunately at this time I do not offer services for same-sex weddings," the owner of business wrote in an email Moffitt shared with CNN.

LAWSUIT...I say FOUL, clog up the courts, and strut your stuff. Imagine, in FREE America, someone wanting to discriminate. The whole world should be SAME SEX marriages and then the end of the human race can come. We;ll be all better off then....

Bullcrap.

She was shocked by the response.

Bullcrap.

"I couldn't believe it,"

Bullcrap.

How many CNN lies are we expected to tolerate?

“I’m sorry. I’m closing my business to retire tomorrow.”

Move to another town, and re-open.

Sounds like a setup to me. You called and asked the question and then when they say “no”, you raise a stink about it?

So tired of the gay mafia.

this would be a worse job than baking a cake.

Could you bring yourself to say to the gay couple “OK, now kiss each other for the camera”

I think as Christians, we need to wise up. Unless this videographer was willing and able to take on the gay establishment (money, PR and lawyers), she should have remained quiet. We do need to make a stand against the redefinition of marriage, but it should be on our terms; we need to be careful and strategic when opposing this movement. The Leftists are using these incidents to “expose” so-called marriage discrimination, thus putting Christians on the defensive.

That being said, with all of the fake attacks on gays and minorities (gays being beat up, or receiving threats from anti-gays that were proven hoaxes), you have to wonder whether this incident was a hoax as well.

“When contacted by CNN, Courtney Schmackers, the owner of “Next Door Stories,” declined Monday to comment on the matter.”

Apparently the owner was smart enough not to talk to CNN, but she was stupid enough to provide a paper trail with an e-mail to a likely gay activist. I wonder how she would respond to a Nigerian e-mail scammer.

How about, “sorry, I have a conflict”.

Less is more.

Hobby Lobby is the law for now, so the small business owner needs a good lawyer to steer them away from the gay activist judges the Gaystapo has set up and to where their religious freedom rights are protected.

Gross.

I would just tell a same sex couple that I get physically ill when I think of homosexuality and would not be able to do the job. I would say it was something I just could not overcome - I was born that way.

Only a goofball even responds to the original email. Why answer the stupid thing? The real question is would anyone really want someone that dumb taking all of their wedding pictures?

Another business fagged.

And there is no homosexual marriage despite one or billions of statists claiming otherwise.

Wait...something here stinks...

Bexley, Ohio?

Ohio doesn’t allow gay marriage. Ceremonies are not done in the state.

Were they expecting the videographer to travel to a state that does?
