BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) – Emily Valdez had fallen in love: with her fiancé, of course, but with a wedding venue, too. She’d scoured the internet looking at photos and reading reviews. Eventually, she’d found it – a venue that fit her family’s needs – a place she’d be proud to make a lifelong commitment to her partner. She scheduled and attended a tour, and she loved the venue even more.

Then, Swann Lake Stables provided Valdez with a contract to sign. On its last page, just before the signature line, was a provision Emily Valdez said she was shocked to read.

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. Valdez, who is in a heterosexual relationship, said she won’t get married at a venue that discriminates against others. Clients also shouldn’t find out about the policy in the final line of a contract many may not even read, Valdez said.

The big deal is that she’s so offended, she wants the venue to lose money, and so is alerting the media to their “transgressions”. She wants the whole world to boycott them, or for someone to sue them into oblivion. In other words, she wants them to be canceled. I hope her fiancé is taking notice.

Total BS story - the Gay Mafia looks for Christian run businesses to target - then calls the fake news stations and sues for discrimination.

This happening all over the Country.

Poor guy. Maybe he should rethink his proposal.?

He probably has a "man bun", an "ironic beard", and is a stizpinkler.

and when she owns a venue she can just as easily refuse to rent to anyone with a MAGA hat!

And they figured by hiring out a hetero couple to do it, they’d get more sympathy.

If they aren’t planning on reading the policy, what difference does it matter which line it ison?

What? Sorry... I can't hear you over all of your virtue signaling...

They chose that venue because they wanted to be offended. They were not looking for a wedding site. They were looking for a lawsuit.

Here in the democrat People’s Republic of Illinois, the venue would be bankrupted by the uniparty.

Well, obviously you don’t understand what’s at stake here.
Didn’t you see where she said that she’s furious”.

She’s definitely going to blowup. Just look at her arms, and that’s thinned down for her wedding. Her husband looks like Penn or Teller…the big one.

She needs to start buying cats now.

Should we do the same? Go to a bakery and ask for a MAGA cake for a party. Find one that says no and sue them. My daughter makes custom coloring paper banners and is not a Trump fan. I want to ask her to make a Mt. Rushmore banner with Trump in the middle. I would tell her I want 100 of them to give to schools for the kids to color on. She will melt down and say no. I will then tell her I could sue her. Maybe if we did this , this lawsuit bull-crap would stop.
