God help her. Close down ASAP and get out of town.
There has to be a nearby mosque, they should ask them.
Here come the Nazis ...

All your wedding venues are belong to us.
This is no different than the bakery, the DJ, and the photographer. They’ll be sued.
Churches should be spared lawsuits as long as they merely hold ceremonies and do not issue marriage licenses.
The media, that is my usual next step when I am denied something I want.
the question is does el paso have any anti-gay discrimination laws? if not, then grace gardens is okay from the law. though they might face a gay mob boycott. if there are anti-discrimination laws, then grace gardens should offer to do the wedding with proceeds going to ted cruz’s campaign.
Refer them to a mosque.
Why would homos want to get married in El Paso? Isn’t there an ISIS camp just 8 miles south of El Paso, in Mexico?
set up. they knew and targeted the place. pastor jack (my pastor said they would not do this)
In an election year with Republicans running Texas, this could produce an embarrassing defeat for the normality-haters, which could then get contagious. I would not be surprised if other states started to follow Texas's lead in various ways.

From the linked article...owner’s statement....
Grace Gardens owner Sandra Rodriguez didn’t want to speak on camera with ABC-7, but she sent this statement:
“Grace Gardens acknowledges the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on the right of same-sex couples to marry and be free from government sanctioned discrimination. However, Grace Gardens also believes in exercising its religious freedom and its belief that the holy covenant of marriage is based upon Holy Scriptures. The Old and New Testaments provide scriptures that support our stance on Biblical marriage.
-Genesis 2:22-24: “Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, ‘this is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman’ for she was taken out of man.’ For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.’”
-Leviticus 18:22 “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.”
-Mark 10: 6-9 “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’ ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
“Grace Gardens believes marriage is a covenant established by God between a man and a woman only. Grace Gardens also believes in the constitutional rights of individuals and the entities they own to express their own religious beliefs including their objections to same-sex marriages. Grace Gardens is a private entity run by individuals that hold sincere and deeply held beliefs that same-sex marriage runs contrary to the teachings of the Holy Bible. As Grace Gardens respects the freedom and rights of all people, including the LGBT community, Grace Gardens asks that same-sex couples, and the public at large will respect the right of Grace Gardens to exercise their freedom and right to not allow such marriages to take place at Grace Gardens. Religious freedom and human rights should be exercised on a mutual level of respect.”
They believe they have the right to force others to participate now
I have a question. The bakery and florist of late to be sued by gay couples were owned/run by women? No?
If gays claim to make up such a big part of society, why don’t they start their own wedding service?
Just remember, 76% of the voters in this state passed their opinion against same sex marriages, instead, we supported the union between a man and a woman to be the law of this state...
These sodomites need to go search for the 24% that will allow them to have a wedding ceremony...
Good luck with that...
