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.

It should be the other way around….same sex should be serving jail time….God said 1 man and 1 women….
They have no business sending these ministers to jail for practicing their religion their own way…….Let the same sex couple find their own minister as I’m sure there are many who will marry them but quite harassing this couple!
Separation of Church and state only goes one way?????
However my own sexaulity that is in favor of loving my self with no external beings is cherished embraced and loved. Is the only thing about my self that’s closest to h**o-love for its only just me giving love to my self. Translation of h**o love; one love… reminds me of God one great big giant love energy shared to all willing to receive it. Because we are all in the divine essence of God…
Christians ENOUGH!! God Bless America & Have Merry Christmas!
The Judge should be Kicked off the Bench, Literally!!!!!
I stand firmly with them!
Ever read a sign in a bar or restaurant that says “we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone”?
It is wrong to take government contracts without intent of conforming to laws.
So much for the government saying they wont force this on churches but it wont be the first time they lied or the last.
