Couldn’t they find a nice closet somewhere?
The Hasan and Bergdahl rules indicate
that if they were Moslems or Obama’s sons,
they could have raped and beheaded their
customers, and then have been continuously
protected by the totally corrupt DO”J”.
Par for the course. The left is doing all it can to eliminate Christianity, to promote actions that are contrary to our human nature, and to install a totalitarian theocracy that will eliminate Christianity and Judaism.
What I would do is tell New York to go F itself, and move to another state. I hope they DO NOT pay that fine because this IS a clear cut case of Christian bias by the liberal cesspool known as New york. Does anyone in their right mind believe that if this involved a Muslim business this same kind of fine would have been handed down? HELL no!
We know a couple with a wedding barn that have solved this problem. You are required to use Facebook to contact them as it’s their only first contact option. Then, when you try to contact yhem, they view your profile and other information, if they determine you are at high risk for a queer marriage, they simply don’t respond. The worst they can be accused of is incompetence - which is perfectly legal.
” The state’s Division of Human Rights ruled that business owned by Robert and Cynthia Gifford violated New York’s anti-discrimination law. “
Not true. Certain people made the decision. And then hid themselves behind a generality. This is always true. These people have names and addresses.
Were the actually denied access? (The court ruling) I doubt it. They were denied getting married there. Two totally different things. It is right the should appeal.
I feel it's even more significant that the rule of law is under attack. This was a judgement by an administrative officer. Thus, as in the Oregon case, there was not actual legal process, no ability to demand a jury trial, no review by appellate courts, etc.
Who could not be brought down by such a regime?
As far as the public accommodation of lesbians, well that fight was lost with the 1965 Civil Rights act, and assuming that the act (or state equivalents) is extended to cover sexual orientation then public accommodations will have to accommodate them. But were it a law there would be many more safeguards for the accused, the same one that any criminal defendant gets. Those are sorely lacking in these administrative judgement cases.
The first amendment’s freedom of association does NOT have any carve outs for “public accommodation”.
Sounds like a good place to make a stand for freedom of association.
The chances of getting enough judges who are not liberal communists are slim.
One of the findings of fact in the Judge’s ruling was number 76: “Respondents do not advertise that there is a policy of not allowing same-sex marriages on (Liberty Ridge Farm).” So had the Giffords posted such a policy on their website would the state have gone after them for that? If not, then is this a legal protection for those not wanting to deal with gay marriages?
Safe is not always the right choice, but the only safe answer is to bow down to evil, or at least pretend to do so - agree to host any perverts who demand your compliance. Then if they follow through and actually prepare to hold their pretend wedding on your property, and they are not just trying to score a legal lottery payout, you cancel at the last minute due to unforeseen problems. Make sure the contract specifies no penalty for nonperformance, and apologize profusely that you are unable to host their “beautiful ceremony”.
It’s not very nice to do this, but neither is demanding that innocent Americans violate their fundamental beliefs. It’s okay to be impolite or even dishonest to thugs and robbers, which is what these people are.
If I did not feel like fighting, I would have the septic pumped on the “wedding” day, pay the $50 emergency fee along with the regular price, and not mention how many rolls of TP I had to flush at once to clog the system. Pseudo-wedding cancelled. If I felt like fighting, I would do what the farmers did and accept the lawsuits, dragging them out as long as possible. There are times when it’s worth years of your life to fight pure evil, and government trampling the free exercise of religion, free association, and private property rights may well be one of them.
