A bridal magazine has announced it will close just months after it sparked outrage for refusing to feature same-sex weddings.
Founders Luke and Carla Burrell, who are Christians, announced they would close White Magazine on Saturday after advertisers withdrew sponsorship.
A farewell note published on White Magazine's website on Saturday said the couple had recently experienced 'a flood of judgement' and lost a number of advertisers.
The Burrells became target of an intimidation campaign in which their staff were threatened and one individual warned their house would be burned down.
'We have had to recognise the reality that White Magazine is no longer economically viable,' their online post said.
The couple said they started the magazine twelve years ago to tell a different kind of story about marriage and deter from commercialised weddings.
They said after the Australian law was changed to allow same-sex couples to marry they were repeatedly asked why the magazine didn't feature 'all couples'.
'White Magazine has always been a secular publication, but as its publishers, we are Christian. We have no agenda but to love,' the farewell note stated.
'We have no desire to create a social, political or legal war, which only divides people further and does more damage than good.'
The couple said, as a result of a 'flood of judgement', a number of advertisers withdrew sponsorship, which had a negative financial impact on the business.
'A campaign was launched targeting the magazine, our team and our advertisers.
'Couples who have featured in our magazine have also been the subject of online abuse despite their individual beliefs. We’re really saddened by this.
'The result has been that a number of advertisers withdrew their sponsorship out of fear of being judged, or in protest,' the message said.

Remember when homosexuals said all they wanted was acceptance? Now its approval or else. Compassion on display from the lunatic left.

I’ve been pointing out for awhile now that just as it’s now ;socially unacceptable’ to support trump in public, it’s going to quickly become unacceptable to support Christianity in public as well- We’re seeing the left become increasingly hostile and intolerant of Christianity=- just look at the vile coming out of the left when a tragedy strikes and a Christian states they are praying for the victims- The left are becoming increasingly hostile, increasingly angry- and just as folks are getting beat up in public for wearing MAGA hats, or having stickers on cars supporting trump- pretty soon just the mere mention of God or Christ in public will result in open hostility and attack-
I guess they could have pictured Sodomite couples under the heading NOT-MARRIAGES . . .
Yup gays said ‘all we want is just to be happy’- that was complete BS- they are NEVER going to be happy- and they ARE going to make everyone around them miserable because many gay people are miserable people-
“Never hire a queer or anyone that even remotely seems queer.”
actually we do...see my tagline. All you mamby pamby freepers just say it but we did it for TEN STRAIGHT AWESOME YEARS. Fired the faggot on a Saturday 2 weeks ago like clockwork..
“All you mamby pamby freepers just say it “
Who you calling mamby pamby??
What a shame fir these hard working people.
You will be made to care. You will be made to conform. It’s gone from asking for tolerance to demanding, with the legal system’s sanctions and commercial penalties, endorsement.
When the fa**ots try to burn down my house they better be out of range.
A wedding related business could make it clear on any advertising material, websites, etc that any profits for providing services to gay “weddings” will be donated to organizations and campaigns that only support heterosexual marriages between one man and one woman.
On all paperwork for so-called gay “weddings” it should be plainly stated that the business is only providing the services under legal duress and that any money collected from such service will be donated in full as such and that the gay participants must sign and acknowledge that the funds will be donated in the way.
It is very much cult-like, and is a social contagion. “Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria”. And the psychiatric and medical professions are all in.
First they came for the Christians, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Christian.
Then they came for the secular conservatives, and I did not speak out— because I was not a secular conservative.
Then they came for all businessmen, and I did not speak out— because I was not a businessmen.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
This is true, since the devil wants worship, and thus works to create an alternative world with perverted versions of what God ordained.
They glory in their shame, and revel in their vice.
They never intended to live and let live.
What a Brave New world this Slippery Slope Downward Tumble Slide is!
GAYS are NOT GAY people.....they are sad, mean tyrants.
Many on our side cannot understand the left and the homostapo use steps to gain in their agenda. Sadly those people think that if they give in to one step then the left would stop which is not the case.
Indeed they are not gay. The left took a positive word and then adjoined it to their agenda to paint a nice, hay picture on a disgusting, unnatural act.
