The third largest city in the state of Idaho recently announced that its marriage equality ordinance would criminalize wedding chapels that only perform marriages between a man and a woman.

This has been discussed: if you run a business, you can not discriminate on the basis of sexuality in most states. This does not apply to churches of whgich ministers may perform weddings.

As I said. It criminalizes wedding chapels that perform biblical marriages.

Lol. "Wedding chapels" are those cheesy things in Vegas. They are not the same as churches. I wouldn't get too worried.

Are you so obtuse that you don't understand that the law is about for-profit businesses... not churches?

Wait...you don't have to answer. Anyone who reads your posts knows the answer.

No, it criminalizes wedding chapels that refuse to perform legal marriages on the basis of sexuality.

But...but...but......the fundamentalists WANT to be persecuted. You're not helping their plan, Ronkon. They don't like being told, "Ummm... it's all in your head."

I find this odd need to be offended, and persecuted rather astonishing. We should start a hair shirt company Dew.
