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.

They have that right!
It’s against their religion so go elsewhere. live & let live.
That’s against the constitution rights cuz
What happened to “Separation of Church and State”? Now the government is trying to play GOD and telling the ministers what they will and won’t preach and do. God have mercy on the morons that are destroying America and it’s morals.
It IS the MINISTERS choice. NOT the DAMN GOVERNMENTS.
The Establishment Clause (not actually in the Constitution or Bill of Rights) is what demands separation of Church and State. BUT here we have the State imposing their views on he Church and wants to impose tier beliefs on these ministers. Where is the outcry from the ACLU?
I will keep you in my prayers. May God bless you and keep you safe.
I’ve seen this many times. These people HAVE THE RIGHT REFUSE SERVICE TO ANYONE. It’s THEIR BUSINESS, NOT THE GOVERNMENTS.
