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.

His choice….
He’s a minister for a reason. In the Bible there is union between a woman and a man called Marriage. Why is it that people don’t understand this. It’s a covenant under God!
they have the right to not marry anyone same sex or not we have to much goverment sticking it’s nose into everything .
That is not right.
You are not “listening”, Tiki Terri. Our government and media are “telling” us that we need to water down our culture and religion, as they have watered down our economy.
And diminishing what marriage is, is watering it down pretty much, Dale!
proud of the minister for standing up for God
Idiots now write the laws!
they dont believe that God said that marriage is between a man and a woman. they are of the devil and he is using them to smite christians. besides the law says that they cant make a minister of God do anything that goes against their religious beliefs
Whoever is doing this to this fine couple should be shot!! Truly… not hyperbole!! If these ministers see such a marriage as against their religious principals they CANNOT be forced to act against their religion!!! People need to DIE a HORRIBLE death for forcing this upon them. Our constitution makes no bones about freedom of religion. zzzif Brobama can force this then we should be able to kick out ALL MUSLIMS in the country…. ALL OF THEM EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!!
