Owners Cynthia and Robert Gifford of the Liberty Ridge Farm in New York have been fined $13,000 for refusing to host a gay wedding.
The Gifford’s host approximately 12 weddings at their farm per year, but refused to host one for a lesbian couple as they feel it would violate their religious beliefs.
But the New York State Division of Human Rights ruled that because the Liberty Ridge Farm is open to the public for specific events, like weddings, it must be classified as a “public accommodation.” This places the farm under a sexual orientation non-discrimination state ordinance.

this is dead wrong and I would take it to the highest court,i would not pay a dime
Total bull$#%&!@*
IT IS THEIR RIGHT PEOPLE
We can not fight with evil all the time;
Wow! yet fine a criminal less than that!
What happened to peoples rights in this country? The Lesbians and Gays are allowed to have rights, but now the strait Man or Woman are not allowed to have rights? I would host it and make it so bad they would never want to try that one again. Maybe invite the KKK. I don’t like them, but it will not happen a second time I bet.
Sick
It’s not open to the public, it’s open to private persons for parties and such and like any other business they have the right to refuse service to ANYONE!!!!!!!
this sort of discrimination against someone because of there religious beliefs is intolerable..His land..his farm..should have been his decision! The gay couple may be smiling now, but all there really doing is making a mockery of themselves.. ya laugh all the way to the bank..but they are instilling fear and hatred once again..why cant they just be happy and go somewhere ealse instead of cramming there beliefs and causing them harm because they dont believe as you do!
WAY TO GO Liberty Ridge Farms!!! NEVER compromise your convictions!!! P E R I O D If I had it I would pay the fine myself but I would love the opportunity to contribute to a fund to pay it.
