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.

stand your ground this is not a Communist Country YET.
Good 4 u sir!!!!
I didnt even know that was against the law. Whatever happen to freedom of religion. His religion dont believe in same sex matrimony. But i think this is f**e.
What exactly is the crime they are charged with? Is there a law saying if you are a minister you must perform marriages for any one who asks?
That’s so crazy it’s his right not to perform the ceremony if it’s against his religion r beliefs
What happened to freedom of religion? That is no way illegal. Someone needs to get rid of those judges! There is separation of church and state!
Very sad state we are in
Where I have nothing against people being gay, I know that the government does not have the right to do that. That couple need to just pack up their and leave.
what happened to we have the right to refuse service to any one
If this is true…..this is not right! Given the lies the right puts out there every single day, I have my doubts! Gays have a right to marry……those that don’t want to be apart of that…..have the right to refuse. The gay couple should ask someone else. Hell, you can be ordained online for a day…..and be married by anyone!
