The city’s “antidiscrimination ordinance” is unconstitutional.

As same-sex wedlock comes to Idaho, it is in everyone's interest that freedom of speech and conscience not be driven out.

Everyone's?

Not the Gay Mafia and not the ACLU. They are shopping for Christians to crush.

If the Hitching Post has a right not to utter the words celebrating the abominable fiction of Gay marriage, then so does a baker, photographer or anyone else in the normal heterosexual marriage business.

You do not forfeit your First Amendment rights just because you engage in commerce.

A discussion on FNC pointed out that this is not a church.

[GeronL]

But of course it is fine to discriminate against conservatives and Christians.

While the courts fall over themselves to cater to special interest groups, I would humbly suggest that if someone attempts to force you to do a job that violates your conscience, that you do the job only very, very badly.

Bake a cake? Ok...ooops, forgot sugar.

Photograph it? Sure, but who need to focus when you leave the lens cap on.

Flowers? No problem. Oh, you wanted LIVE flowers? You should have said so.

It’s obvious the gays are seeking places they know will turn them down. Of course, this needs to be fought tooth and nail. In the meantime, the church could simply be closed do to illness on the day of the wedding. The pastors tried to get in touch with the “couple” but apparently wrote down the wrong phone number.

The photographer can also be sick and simply not show up. If these peoples’ wonderful plans are ruined enough times they’ll eventually stop taking the chances.

What happens if they ask a muslim to officiate? or cater? or photograph? If a muzzie refuses, which favored group wins?

[AzNASCARfan]

Supporters of same-sex unions have nothing to gain by forcing anyone, least of all clergy members, to officiate at weddings when it would violate their principles to do so.

I remember growing up a common sign above the register, in many business' that said "we reserve the right to refuse service to anybody" I guess at some point in my life, that right has been taken away from American business owners and now it is illegal to refuse service to anybody for almost any reason... I am sure when it was taken away, the common belief was everybody thinking it would be simple common sense you would not want to force a bakery by taking them to court to make them bake a cake for you either... but it has happened.
