A New York farm has been fined $13,000 by the state Division of Human Rights for declining to host a same-sex wedding on their property two years ago, and has been ordered to train their employees to accommodate homosexual ceremonies despite their Christian beliefs.
Administrative Law Judge Migdalia Peres fined Liberty Ridge Farms in Schaghticoke $10,000 and Liberty Ridge Farms was also ordered to provide proof that they have trained their employees not to refuse requests from homosexuals. A poster noting that the business is subject to human rights law must additionally be displayed prominently at the business.
Jason McGuire, the executive director of New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms, decried the ruling on Thursday, noting that Liberty Ridge Farms took no issue with serving homosexuals. He outlined that the Giffords only drew the line when the request equated to personal involvement, thus violating the Scriptures command not to be a partaker in others sins.
McGuire noted that when same-sex marriage was legalized in New York in 2011, Christians and others were assured that they were protected under a religious freedom amendment, but now he finds that amendment useless.
When the bill was passed, we were promised that the religious freedom amendment to New Yorks same-sex marriage legislation would do the job. We were told it would be the strongest in the nation. Our legislators bought the lie and today every New Yorker is living the lie. Town clerks, justices and businesses are impacted by the Empire States religious freedom farce, he stated. There is no protection in New York law that did not already exist prior to the bills passage. But after gay marriage was enacted, clerks are out of work and business owners are facing human rights complaints. Thats the reality we are living today.

I found that a tad curious, too...
There must be revolt to such unconstitutional orders by a fascist government body.
Bump
This was perhaps the push for John Walker Lindh, who converted to Islam after his father divorced the mom and ran off with his boyfriend.
"How'd ya like t' LICK - MY - ***S, JUDGE"
(So long as you're calling from another state, of course.)
Just say no. Dare them to arrest you.
We Christians need to fight back using their own tactics. Require fag owned companies and restaurants to make WWJD cakes and cater WWJD weddings. The precedent is set and we won’t win in the court system as it is infected with Obama’s homosexual army. But we can win battles in the court of public opinion. Force gay owned companies to provide services to Christian weddings. Force gay owned bakeries to bake anti-abortion cakes. I don’t have much opportunities up here in my deep red town but I would certainly be pushing it all back in their smug faces.
No...what’s coming is that if a homosexual makes a pass at you and you decline you will be prosecuted for a human rights voilation
So is the staff also trained to accommodate those who engage in Bestiality? I mean it is a farm and where else can they find animals? /sarcasm
I wonder if we would see Bundy Ranch 2?
Has anybody checked out if Judge Migdalia Peres is GAY?
Maybe the Judge is a Friend of Reggie Love or better yet
a friend of Obama.
Down with "public accommodation," up with "freedom of association."
We need to create membership organizations and buying clubs in every community in this country so we can avoid these idiots.
So in this case the farm would become a private club and charge $1 for membership, then members would have to abide by the club’s rules, which would require that all marriages be heterosexual? Whatever works, but I can’t believe that a majority of voters want this homofascist nonsense to continue.
They should be all over the gay wedding gestapo events like this, right?
Why pick on the dead when the source of their battle is right here before them?
They want publicity? Well, here it is. Ready, willing and waiting.

Apparently means that not throwing your personal beliefs out the window to cater to the homonazis is somehow inconsistent with the "...peace and safety of this state."
“IN YOUR FACE AMERICA!!! Youre going to kiss our @$$es or else”
Yes, as long as democrats sit their sorry asses in the White House it will never end. It starts at the top.
