So, don’t sign, and find someone or something that aligns with your virtue signaling that allows homosexual marriages.

She read the contract. She didn’t like the terms. Then, go some place else.

I think I see the problem here.

The owners of Swann Lake Stables, a wedding and event venue in Birmingham, do not allow same-sex weddings on their property according to the contract.

and that is their constitutional right. there are other venues that the homosexual lobby can frequent.

Go elsewhere. FAR, FAR AWAY. Perhaps San Fransicko? Or Cape Cod, MA? Pedo Island is lovely this time of year!
