A gay El Paso couple contacted ABC-7 to report an Upper Valley wedding venue that won't let them get married there.
The owner of Grace Gardens says she is exercising her religious freedom in denying same-sex marriages.
I agree with your sentiment 100%!
Just remember, 76% of the voters in this state passed their opinion against same sex marriages, instead, we supported the union between a man and a woman to be the law of this state...
These sodomites need to go search for the 24% that will allow them to have a wedding ceremony...
Good luck with that...
So does the continued misuse of the “Commerce Clause” against “State’s Rights” by the Federal government...
I also heard there is some rumor going around that anyone who doesn’t agree to conduct a wedding ceremony can be fined $1000, and get up to 18 months in the pokey in work...
So, even if that becomes a punishment, are you going to allow your preacher, minister, priest, Imam (Ohhhh, well, maybe not yer Imam)...take this hit???
Seriously, think about it...
Teach and express and discuss do not mean the same thing as “exercise”...
I admire Ms Rodriguez for taking a stand to defend her 1st Amendment-protected freedom of religious expression.
But what seems to be a common pattern among business owners who have had major problems with pro-gay activist states unconstitutionally abridging their 1st Amendment-protected freedom of religious expression is this. They evidently don’t know about their constitutional protections of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment which activist justices have actually been cherry-picking wording from to justify legalizing constitutionally unprotected gay marriage from the bench.
14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
So what’s worse, activist justices who pervert the Constitution, or citizens who don’t study the Constitution for themselves in order to catch when corrupt justices are lying about the Constitution?
The 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt senators and pro-gay activist justices along with it.
I mean, gays would have civil rights...like male and female married people.
That doesn't mean a church has to marry a gay couple, does it?
Oh, I know...the left will still rage!!
Civil...versus Religious.
Greg Abbott’s offer of legal assistance by the State of TX is NOT a hollow promise. And the O_fare has already learned that Greg can prevail over the Fed Gov in court proceedings.
Bring it on. And then punish all POLs who
enable the enemy within the gates.
