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.

Why don’t they want to be married by their own believers? Not force their belief on others. BULLIES!
NO WAY! thank you Rev.
Its wrong when this government tells those who serve God that if they don’t marry those who go against God and the bible ,then they will spend the rest of their life and spirit and soul in hell where they want to be at but don’t force those to spend it with you .
Where is freedom of expression in this case?
Thank you Ministers, for following God’s Word. I will stand beside these ministers.
No way
It seems that they are open to attack because they are incorporated like a business rather than a church. There should; however, be much greater protection at all levels of government for Christian business. The homosexual activists are using state or local ordinances to attack Christianity.
Stand up for your God-given rites. Don’t go against your beliefs. Stand firm
HMM, Sharpton gets a pass from Obama on 4 million worth of Taxes but lets ruin a Ministers Rep on his faith.
