DHR found that the couple violated New York's "places of public accommodation" anti-discrimination law.

Which means that venues can now be sued for refusing to rent their space for KKK rallies, animal sacrifices and orgies.

NY values strike again

A clear violation of the 1st amendment’s protection of freedom to peacefully assembly.

It’s their freakin’ land. So then, they can marry, but they are not allowed onto the yard/land - perhaps that can be the ruling. SCOTUS would likely - if they would take the case - rule in favor of the land owners. Private property is private property - this isn’t like the bakery case (which also was an immoral ruling). Correct me if wrong, isn’t the air above the land also property of the landowners up to a point?

I’m praying for patience as I wait for justice!!!!!

[Neoliberalnot]

Queers are worse then any of the three options you cite.

At the time they turned it down the Supreme Court had not yet ruled. (And before any law had been written, oh, wait...)

We are on the cusp of brutal persecution.

And Republican leaders say nothing.

the lesbian women said, "Having your relationship judged as somehow unworthy is incredibly hurtful and disheartening and we want to ensure that other couples do not have to undergo the same treatment."

Yes. I'm sure that it came as an absolute shock to her that there are people who disagree with same sex marriage.

Another “New York value”.

[kearnyirish2]

I suspect that these locations will either re-write their bylaws to include some kind of religious qualifier or simply stop advertising publicly - maybe use word-of-mouth through various groups like Knights of Columbus, VFWs and such.

They continue to drive Judeo-Christian values from the public sphere (and destroy the small business economy while doing so).

By the same logic we could shut down every mosque in the US tomorrow, right?

[GregoTX]

Farmers who host weddings in their backyard cannot refuse ceremonies where two people of the same sex are trying to get married, a New York court has ruled.

Look at those New York values

[cicero2k]

The case against them is stronger than the case against cake artists, and photographers.

Leasing your place is not a request for artistic expression.

[George from New England]

THIS is what Cruz is talking about. Cruz’s campaign should MILK this one for all it’s worth.

[BuffaloJack]

I’d love to see some homo couple request to be married in a Mosque. Anyone think the imans would allow it?

[cuban leaf]

Sneaky trick: market through Facebook and web site. State policy that requires some information on the couple, requested date, etc. before seeing or talking to them. If they are queer, you simply never respond. It’s not illegal to run your business inefficiently. :-)

[rawcatslyentist]

No problem, invite a bunch of mooseSlimes and watch the fun begin.

Homosexuality is a ‘behavior’ – and service is refused based on behavior all the time. Lawyers choose the clients they want to represent based on behavior – restaurants may choose not to allow smoking or alcohol (legal behaviors). Businesses impose dress codes on patrons and refuse to allow patrons who wear T-shirts containing messages that they see as repugnant. This is not just an issue for religious beliefs and we should not allow others to frame the argument as such. There are many secular arguments against gay marriage but it seems there is an agenda to frame this as merely archaic Christian intolerance. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. did not ask people to turn away from the Bible because of racial intolerance – he told them to turn ‘to’ the Bible in order to stop racial intolerance – and it worked.

America is now being asked to accept gay marriage as normal and healthy. No one - not Moses, Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad, Aquinas, Gandhi, not the Bible, Torah, Koran or any other sacred text, nor even a single anti-religious secular thinker of the Enlightenment -- ever advocated redefining marriage to include members of the same sex. Beyond this, to now say homosexual marriage is right is to say all secular and religious icons in our past were wrong. We are saying in a time of Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, and hotdog-stuffed-crust-pizza that we have reached an enlightenment no other culture before us ever attained - and that we can now proclaim that all the great thinkers throughout history were intolerant bigots due to the decision of 5 activist judges.

Whole passel of judges should be placed in stocks in their town squares to be pummeled by folks with rotten fruit and dog poop.
