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.

Bring into the chapel for their wedding as many farm animals as you can fit without their knowledge It’s part of the ambiance.
Good job, I agree with Russ you do have the legal right to refuse.
They could of went to someone else but they have their rights and the ministers do not. In your face is what this is about, we will show you. You will marry us or go to jail.. That s why they didn’t just go to someone else and went to the courts and media instead. We are in the last days. When the power of God’s people is finally broken then the things written in Daniel will be completed. (Daniel 12::7)

If there was nobody else willing to marry the same sex couple, I can see getting lawyers involved! But as long as somebody is willing, why not let them marry them!!!
