Quote:Here is an example of where this is going.  A couple in upstate New York offers their property for birthday and wedding celebrations for a fee.  A lesbian couple wanted to use their property for their wedding.  The owners offered the property for a reception, but would not allow the actual ceremony on their property based on their religious beliefs.  The couple sued, and a court ruled that they were "discriminated" against, so the owners are/were faced with paying some hefty fines.  That, to me is wrong.

 

My bottom line is, I am all for same-sex couples being able to enter a legal/emotional union for legal purposes.  What I am against is private property owners, private business and houses of worship being forced to accommodate these unions.  In my mind, if you are a gay couple and want to do business with someone that rejects you, find another business.  Don't make the law force a business to accommodate you simply on your belief if it goes against the business owner's own beliefs.
