Donald and Evelyn Knapp, both ordained ministers, have refused to marry a same sex couple in their chapel, The Hitching Post.
Now they face a $1000 fine for each day they decline hold the wedding and up to 180 days in jail.
City officials from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, states that the city has a non-discrimination statute that includes sexual orientation and gender identity, and because same-sex marriage became legal in Idaho on Oct. 15, 2014, the couple would have to conduct these weddings in their chapel.

Pass enough laws and everyone becomes a criminal.
It’s a shame it had to come to this, but ironic. For hundreds of years, ministers have been preaching hate and discrimination for any who did not believe as they did, Now they face the result. I believe this couple should have the right to choose who they marry, but Christians brought the government into it, now they face the backlash of years of persecution.
Rick says:
“If enough people, groups and organizations filed lawsuits against that city it could be forced into bankruptcy or at least spend so much of its citizens tax dollars on legal fees the people would finally recall the city council and repeal its policy, perhaps bombarding the council members individually and personally as well with any and every kind of suit conceivable from environmental to discrimination….crush them with their own rules, it works !!”

Stand up for Christ.. Christ will stand up for you
Donald and Evelyn Knapp have the same rights as h**o’s. They don’t half to marry them it’s not what they believe in. The h**o’s are just trying to start trouble. If they want to get married why wouldn’t they do it with someone that would marry them. The h**o’s singled these people out for this very reason and that is wrong.
State coercion
Well, amnesty is already funded through February anyhow.
This is sad
