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.

Just not right !!
Mr and Mrs Gifford more power to you. For what ever it’s worth I am 100% supportive of your decision. It’s a shame that politics has moved so far away from God that it affects our everyday rightful decisions.My sympathy is with u and your family!
I just think this is wrong and we have a right to say who we serve and who we dont…if everyone would send them one dollar they could pay the fine…but then again..i would be telling them that it’s ok and it is not ok
They have the right to turn anyone away. It their land!
Let this b a lesson to you any more queers want u to do something charge them several thousand dollars above they will go somewhere else or u make a bundle
:(((

Why didn’t they go to a church?? The farm is private property and they should be able to do what they want or cater to whom ever they choose! Stores have signs up on their property that states that they can refuse to serve anyone …it is the store owners right. Farmers should have that same right without the government interfering and making them pay a fine. To the lesbian couple**KARMA*!!!
