(CNSNews.com) – A couple who hosts occasional wedding ceremonies on their New York farm have lost an appeal to overturn the $13,000 in fines levied against them by the state’s human rights agency, which ruled that their refusal to host a wedding for two women was discriminatory.
On Jan. 14, the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Third Department, upheld the agency’s order and the fines, a decision the Alliance Defending Freedom - which represented Robert and Cynthia Gifford - said amounted to confirming, “that the government can punish the Giffords for declining to coordinate a ceremony that conflicts with their conscience.â€
The couple lives in a barn they built on their farm and have occasionally hosted weddings on the first floor and the surrounding backyard area, according to ADF.

Jeez, re-education camps right here and now. And, they said it would never happen.
Time to go to a mosque and ask if a bbq can be held there.
I would never, ever comply with that type of lunacy. I'd make them come and arrest me. And there'd be plenty of media and cameras there for that event.
Take this one to the Supreme Court.
” In order to comply with the order, the couple will have to attend those “re-training†classes or have a “trainer†come to them, according to ADF. “
Re-Education is forcible indoctrination against one’s will is an atrocity. How very Marxist/soviet of the state of new york.
How Orwellian.
The GAYSTAPO are the bigots singling out Christian businesses to harass them into serving them outside their conscious. Bet they won’t try that on a mussie business.
One of these days anarchy will prevail, when ordinary citizens revolt against judges, tar and feather them and drag them behind cars. Not that I would want to see that happen, but some people are being left little choice.
People will say that it wont happen in their state but you just hide and watch.Sure seems the fags have taken over the courts.Just lovely.
Damn judge should be removed from the bench and the order IGNORED.
I actually would not mind seeing it happen. It is long overdue.
Will Elena Kagan recuse herself? Oh yeah Roberts too.
It’s a FAGWA
What’s happening in Oregon is MUCH BIGGER than people realize. It’s a start.
Sad how private property is increasingly becoming public property just like communism.
Fascistic depravity. Or depraved fascism. I don’t know. Whatever it is this sure as hell isn’t the America I once knew. Not this damned cesspool of faggot-marriage, transgender bathrooms, and a corrupt, degenerate government that promotes and celebrates such sick, evil insanity.
Years ago, I could never remotely envision that my own country would no longer elicit thoughts of loyalty and patriotism in me, but rather, make me want to vomit. But that’s the point things have come to.
I am sure Bernie would approve, what with him being a proud socialist. Hitler must be smiling as well.
At least they aren’t shoving Christians in ovens - yet.
...or a homosexual wedding.
Re-education now, incarceration soon to follow.
Christians should pray that God prepares us for martyrdom. And by that I don’t necessarily mean slaughter (although I do think that’s not outside the realm of possibilities). Lose your job, lose your business, go to jail. That’s what I’m referring to. It’s happening and will only escalate. Hang on, FRiends.
