An engaged couple in Missouri say they’re shocked and saddened after a restaurant in St. Charles County refused to host their rehearsal dinner upon learning they were in a same-sex relationship.

Kendall Brown told KMOV she had reached out to Madison’s Café in O’Fallon about booking dinner ahead of her wedding to Mindy Rackley on June 15, but claims she was told the restaurant couldn’t “condone” the brides-to-be’s nuptials.

The one on the right looks like Weird Al Yankovic.

Maybe the “groom” can put a hot dog in its pants. Then say “looky here! I’m good”!

Nice one.

So proud of you having no moral fiber. /s

If I have a restaurant and a couple wants to rent the facility, I am not going to tell them no. Their money is green and the place is for rent. It is not like they are doing anything illegal.

And you have that right. More power to you. But don't discount the possibility that you might change your mind the first time you witness the debauchery that occurs at a "pride" event. You might find that you no longer want your good name associated with such antics. And that is also your right, until the gaystapo and black-robed tyrants take it away. The flip side of the coin to the "Freedom of Association" we enjoy as a result of the 1st Amendment, and upheld in "NAACP v. Alabama", is the "Freedom of Disassociation". The moment that is taken away, there is no longer freedom of speech or religion. I'd rather have Civil War II than that.

I think you’re absolutely right. “You don’t want my business? Very well, there are other — likely even better venues where I can hold my event”.

OG...Are Democrats ugly because they are Democrats, or are they Democrats because they are ugly??

[gibsonguy]

I doubt they were “shocked”. I’m betting they targeted this place.

Yes. For every restauranteur, baker, caterer, photographer, limo driver, etc who refuses to get involved with same sex weddings there are dozens of others willing to fill that niche. Would anyone demand Jewish owned establishments get involved with neo nazi weddings, or Black owned businesses to patronize White supremacist couples?

What if a chapter of Black Panthers or Nazis or the Klan wanted to hold a meeting there?

Would the place be "forced" to host the meeting?

Who’s the guy on the right?

Gun shops and/or manufacturers aren’t illegal either, but that doesn’t stop banks and CC companies from refusing to serve them. So these biatches can reap what the liberals have sown.

My sentiments too. As long as they can collectively mind their p's and q's, and obey the law, I'll do business with them. As long as I don't have to participate in their ridiculous charade.

"Let me be frank."

"No, let me be Frank!"

“We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone”. Whatever happened to that legal principle?

You can almost hear the thick cockney accent.

Maybe there aren’t as many people in their “circle” as they want us to believe.

To reply to the headline of the article, I would quote a phrase from the SOUTH PACIFIC song, “Bloody Mary”, “...now ain’t that too d**n bad!”
