NY Farm Fined for Refusing to Host Gay Wedding
Rick Moran / American Thinker
New York farmers who host birthday parties and other events must pay a $13,000 fine because they refused to host a gay wedding.
The couple, Cynthia and Robert Gifford, have hosted gay wedding receptions in the past. But because weddings are conducted on the first floor of their house, Cynthia Gifford refused to host a gay wedding ceremony of two lesbians because of her Christian faith.
A judge ruled that the GIfford private residence isn’t so private after all.
New York farm owners who rent their facilities for birthday parties and wedding ceremonies have been fined thousands of dollars for refusing to host a lesbian wedding.
Cynthia and Robert Gifford were fined $10,000 and ordered to pay $3,000 in restitution to the lesbian couple after they refused to hold the wedding at their Liberty Ridge Farm near Albany, Religion News Service reported.

That is such horse $h!t. It seems to me that since the gays have had their rights, straight people are continuing to lose theirs. Anyone should have the right to choose who comes in their house. I wouldn’t host a gay wedding at my house either. It’s not that I have anything against gays, I just don’t want them in my home.
The law is way out of line here. So is this lesbian couple for complaining and collecting restitution. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Personally I wouldn’t pay a dime to anyone. I would exercise the right to bear arms on those who came to collect. If the “law” says you no longer have a say about who comes into your home, then it’s time to disregard the law entirely.
