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.

Only 1.6% of the population self-identifies as gay. Less than 3% total self-identify as gay + bisexual. How can they drive the agenda so disproportionate to their numbers?

I’m offended! Oh wait! Christians have no rights! It doesn’t matter how offended WE are!
Appeal to a higher court. One should have a right to refuse service because of their faith. There was a similar decision made over paying for abortions by employers whos faith was against abortion. The finding was in favor of the employr
