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.

I am with you sir !
he held his ground and gept his morals
What about the right of a business, which the wedding chapel is, and being able to refuse service? And then there is religious freedom? isn’t there, at least there was in the Idaho I lived in.
No he wont
It sounds like it’s more about how much money or revenue can be collected then actual discrimination.
God bless….
Any idea, religion, or thought that provides for the discrimination of another human being, for any reason, is a abomination and only satisfies the destruction of our race. God or no god, every human is human and our only purpose in life is to be humanely to one another.
No way :
JOE SARDELLA, does the minister not have rig hr to refuse service? Does the couple not have the right to go elsewhere? How, in your small mind, is forcing a man to do something against his morals imply free country? $#%&!@*in moron.
Again. Religion at its best. Just imagine how much further we would be as a species if grown ups didnt have imaginary friends. Its funny how so many people think same sex couples being able to mary, violates the sanctity of THEIR 4th marriage. They have just as much right to be as miserable as everyone else who is married.
