    They will have to find another venue. Why would they want to have their wedding there now that they know how the owners feel about their sexuality? Why did they run to the news about this rather than move on.

    I don't know the details of this case, but I have no doubt that others have deliberately gone to establishments they knew would reject them just so they could publicize it and/or sue.

    I know the bakery won when that whole thing happened. I don't see why a venue would be legally required to host this event. People get turned away from all sorts of businesses for all sorts of reasons (at the owner's/manager's discretion).

    I don't know where to land on this, I figure unless one personally commits what one considers a "sin" then they're good to go. Besides, I'd think that the legalization of gay marriage would have been considered a boon to savvy wedding venues. While I have no interest in the gay life I imagine their money is just as green and spends the same as any other.

    It will be interesting to see if the left defends this with the same vigor they defended Oakland and Boston.

    They likely ran to the media to be socially responsible citizens.
    It is our civic duty, all of us, to stand up to all forms of social injustice.
    I wonder how these hypocrites would react if they were refused service for practicing their voodoo.

    The left reminded us numerous times in the past 6 months that private businesses have the right to choose who they do business with (or who uses their platform).

    So what, it's privately owned. Get over it and move on, plenty of others will perform the sham wedding.

    Yes, just "opinions"....:rolleyes: I really dont have time to spoon feed you, just google "Trump supporters denied service at business"...your labeling the obvious results as "opinions" lets me know it's a waste of time. Thanks for getting that out of the way fast.

    You never heard of Sarah Huckabee and the Red Hen? Really?

    Of course you would....

    Hundreds or even thousands of other conservatives using sites like Twitter, Youtube,etc.
    But I'm sure you never heard of those.

    As dems taught us, private businesses have the right to choose who they do business with. So there ya go. Now live with it.

    Playing "victim's lotto" is now a thing. Why work for a living when fauxrage can make you rich?

    It’s a legal marriage identical to yours (assuming you are married)

    And? In my opinion, it's a sham, a perversion.
    I have the legal right to express my opinion. (at least, currently....I expect the left to steadily erode that)
