Why would anyone want to be married by someone who did not want to marry them?

I can understand expecting the city clerk to do a civil wedding without a peep of personal opinion, but if you’re choosing anyone else, wouldn’t you want someone who gets all warm and fuzzy about it?

RE: Why would anyone want to be married by someone who did not want to marry them?

In order to prove a point.

This is not about them wanting to getting married. This is about FORCING the issue — using the power of government to COERCE acceptance. It has always been like that since the Colorado baker was forced to bake a cake for a gay wedding.

To force an agenda upon a society that doesn't accept the agenda.

State Law??? pssh.

What some stupid State Law got to do with anything when some black robed thug can capriciously overtun that law as unconstitutional.

Or worse - Some Prosecutor can try the Knapp’s for violating the Civil Rights of queers.

It seems that, increasingly, tolerance is a one-way street.

Coeur d’Alene Councilman Dan Gookin told Fox News, “I understand that the way the law is currently written right now that the religious freedom has a priority. It trumps that other desire of mine to see more equality in that area.”

Dan, your desire, is NOT law.
I know you wish it were but it isn’t.

Mark my words: Within 20 years, the true Church will be driven underground by “public accommodation” orthodoxy...

In “LGBT”, the “T” stands for Tyranny.

Isn't it wonderful how much damage the communists that are running the Country have done. Our personal as well as business are no longer free and are wards of the State. America is turning into the land of the shi!.

They aren’t denying anyone anything. They marry one man to one woman. Same-sex marriage is not a service they offer.

It is like me suing a car dealership for refusing to fix my TV.

City officials . . . argued that the Hitching Post is in violation of ordinance §9.56, which bars facilities of public accommodation from discrimination. According to the ordinance, this discrimination can include denying "any person because of sexual orientation and/or gender identity/expression, the full enjoyment of any of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges of any place of public resort, accommodation, assemblage, or amusement."

Just as the Colorado bakers were willing to bake for gay people, just not to violate their faith by participating in a perverse parody of a wedding through providing a wedding-specific cake, I assume these people are willing to rent out their property to perverts, just not to violate their faith by participating in a perverse parody of a wedding. The accommodations are open, even to perverts, it's the personal service in opposition to God that is being denied.

The idea that anyone would think they could have either a legal a right or any power to compel others to defy God is disgusting at a level that I thought even the far left would never reach. Today's Liberals disgust me.

RE: What does Sharia Law say about same sex marriage?’

It can’t exist under Sharia. People with same sex attraction are executed.

Bringing that kind of karma into your “marriage” would do it no good, whether the coerced party complied or went out of business.

If I am a clergyman, then I can only perform marriages in accordance with the rules of my denomination. I cannot do otherwise. A rabbi cannot perform a Catholic ceremony. Neither can a priest perform a Jewish ceremony. If a denomination defines marriage as between a man and a woman then that is how it must be. If two people of the same sex wish to be married, then the ceremony must be performed in the auspices of a denomination that uses that definition of marriage.
