I have seen many signs in the past on places of business which said ( we have the right to refuse service to any one)
I have never looked this issue up in the constitution but it seems these people thought they had that right.
I have always thought equal rights just had to do with government but could be wrong, don`t know but in my view it should just pertain to Government.

The 13th Amendment prohibits “involuntary servitude”.
The “officials” seem to have forgotten that.

They should do the wedding, quoting scripture passages that gay people find offensive. If these idiots think it's more important to make a point than to enjoy their wedding day, let them suffer the consequences. Same for a bakery or photographer forced into the same situation. "Gee, sorry you didn't like the cake or the pictures. Maybe you shouldn't have forced people to participate."

>>They are ordained pastors so they should have religious freedoms. Apparently FReepers are all for the homosexual agenda. Churches will be next and cant wait for their excuses then.<<
I agree. I'm stunned at some of the comments here.

Outside of a criminal conviction, why would an American ever lose their rights?

Why cant they just leave us alone. Why does the government have the right force anyone to sell any service for any reason? If free trade between individuals is not based on mutual consent then the government has to claim implicitly that it already owns either the individual or the service. Why are only Christians the only ones who do not have the right to use their beliefs in how they do business?
Should the government force moral diversity? Can they force you to sell another bottle of booze to a drunk? Force you to sell your puppies to Cruella? What is the justification to stop the government from selling anything we have to anybody who demands it? Can the government force you to sell you guns?
The answer is only yes if the government owns you and has a right to your product or in the case of services of your labor hours. If you are forced by someone to do something which you did not consent to, if your labor hours are stolen and put to the use of anothers demands: It is Slavery of the first order!
When you leave God's book behind you will lose your freedom.

Divorce. The man is often removed from the home “without cause”. Happens a LOT, actually.
