Another business is facing retribution for declining service to a same-sex couple. Betty and Dick Odgaard, owners of Görtz Haus Gallery in Grimes, Iowa, are catching the ire of gay rights advocates after they declined offering their venue to Lee Stafford and his fiance Jared.
Now the owners, who are Christians, are receiving vicious and threatening emails and phone calls — and they fear that their business could shut down because of the fierce reaction.
It was less than one week ago that the Lee and Jared entered Görtz Haus looking for additional information about holding their wedding there. After Dick realized that it would be a gay ceremony, he told the couple that they would not be able to hold their nuptials at the establishment — and that’s when the controversy erupted.
“It started with emails and we noticed the emails were from a person with a name that looked like a man’s name. We’re a little suspicious about it and … two fellows walked in and that’s where it all began,” Dick told TheBlaze on Friday. “It was obvious what the situation was. I had to confirm it. I asked if this was a gay marriage celebration and I said we can’t take your money for this.”

And we wonder why Putin is saying no to this.
So now gays are considered a race?
” And we wonder why Putin is saying no to this. “
Uh....no we don’t
LOL!
Put pictures of happy male and female couples all over the walls and a picture of Jesus behind the stage and a big ten commandments by the door.
Then see if they still want to hold it there, just double the price since there are two of a kind.

This one is a no brainer.
After the story hits national publicity, they can have a free wedding at the White House with Caliph Baraq officiating.
You know we’re in trouble.... when our society devolves to the point where Russian Dictators look good.
HOW does race even enter into this??? Putin sees what is happening in the US and wants no part of our filth for Russia! BTW read the article comments... “Harry Potter” deserves some schoolin’! ;) I thought The Blaze was supposed to be a conservative source, that guy is obv. a troll!
I don’t know what has happened to the world.
It happened so fast.
One minute Marriage was a Sacrament blessed by God, the next it is a perverted sex act blessed by Satan.
If these people wish to go against nature and have sex with each other, instead of the opposite sex, that is their preference and their misfortune. Do not bring the wrath of God down on the rest of us by breaking the traditions that have held forth for 3,000 years. I do not now , nor will I ever accept same sex marriage.
Disgusting and a harbinger of things to come.
The wedding planners should explain to the judge that their phobia of queers is so bad they get violently ill in their presence, and don’t want to embarrass their customers with puke.
Disturbed minds.
” You know we’re in trouble.... when our society devolves to the point where Russian Dictators look good.”
At least Putin loves Russia, and he knows Obama hates America,
which would explain Putin’s disgust for Obama.
Gay rights activists don’t like freedom.
“The Race That Couldn’t Breed” Due in theaters Sept. 2013.
