ity Attorney Warren Wilson told The Spokesman-Review in May that the Hitching Post Wedding Chapel likely would be required to follow the ordinance. “I would think that the Hitching Post would probably be considered a place of public accommodation that would be subject to the ordinance,” he said. He also told television station KXLY that any wedding chapel that turns away a gay couple would in theory be a violation of the law “and you’re looking at a potential misdemeanor citation.” Wilson confirmed to Knapp in a telephone conversation that even ordained ministers would be required to perform same-sex weddings, the lawsuit alleges. “Wilson also responded that Mr. Knapp was not exempt from the ordinance because the Hitching Post was a business and not a church,” the lawsuit states. And if he refused to perform the ceremonies, Wilson reportedly told the minister that he could be fined up to $1,000 and serve up to 180 days in jail.

Recall Rules Idaho

In case anyone is here from Coeur d'Alene, and wants to gret the ball rolling against Wilson

Wedding chapels have always been a cottage industry in Couer d’Alene. Last time I was there must have been half a dozen down toward the lake. It was one of the places in the Great NW that people ran away to to get married-—pretty much like Winnemucca, NV only with a lake. This chapel doesn’t stand alone and I expect the local folks will get it worked out. There’s been a lot of Kalifornicator in-migration in recent decades and I expect one of them will get schooled over this.
