Christians have fought wars over far less than this.

However, the chapel is also a for-profit business and city officials said that means the owners must comply with the local nondiscrimination ordinance.

That's their mistake. Reincorporate as a church and avoid the problem.

I was married by an Airborne, Army Chaplain, but I thought that clergy were always asked to perform a wedding, not that they are required to.

Do the queer wedding but the ministers need to dress up in Satan costumes, or maybe Bozo outfits.

No law against that.

Interesting. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Is it a mistake? Do constitutional rights end when one creates a business?

“... not that they are required to.”

Silly! That was in the old America before the homo fascists took over.

Right. Tell ‘em “sure, I’ll do it. But let me warn you, my wedding sermons can go really long. Sometimes whole days, or even weeks, at least, because it takes a long time to tell the whole story of how abominations land you in hell for eternity.”

A church doesn’t need to incorporate. I have started some churches and they don’t need to incorporate.

Is there a legal requirement for a ceremony to accompany a marriage? If not, I’d just ask to see the gay couple’s marriage license and then sign it and say, “OK, you’re legally married in the eyes of the state. Have a nice day.” Then send them away.

“Gay Marriage” has been legal in Idaho for less than a week, and already someone threatened with jail time for refusing to allow it in their ministry.

Satan and Bozo costumes? What an idea. Does the “law” mandate a dress code?

I agree with you, it shouldn't. But I was thinking with my lawyer hat on: How can I help a client avoid this problem?
