(CNSNews.com) – A couple who hosts occasional wedding ceremonies on their New York farm have lost an appeal to overturn the $13,000 in fines levied against them by the state’s human rights agency, which ruled that their refusal to host a wedding for two women was discriminatory.
On Jan. 14, the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Third Department, upheld the agency’s order and the fines, a decision the Alliance Defending Freedom - which represented Robert and Cynthia Gifford - said amounted to confirming, “that the government can punish the Giffords for declining to coordinate a ceremony that conflicts with their conscience.”
The couple lives in a barn they built on their farm and have occasionally hosted weddings on the first floor and the surrounding backyard area, according to ADF.

ReplyDelete3:26 The government is not forcing Christian views on anybody. We don't want them forcing Anti-Christian views on us. That was the point. If you hate Christians that's your problem.

ReplyDelete3:26 - They chose not to host a homosexual wedding. They did not sue the homosexuals for being homosexuals. The homosexuals created the issue because these people chose to practice their Christianity. Read the First Amendment.
