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.

He is a Christian minister and it is his choice of what weddings he wants to do.

As CHRISTIAN ministers, we must stand by the GOSPEL! – – We work for GOD, – – NOT mammon. = == Push back! = = =

“”The Alliance Defending Freedom has filed a motion arguing that this action “violates [the Knapps’s] First and 14th Amendment rights to freedom of speech, the free exercise of religion, substantive due process, and equal protection.” Good! It is about time that cities follow the Bill of Rights and not their political agenda.”
