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.

I pray God’s protection and blessing over them! In Jesus’ name!
such total stupidity on the part of the officials there!!
because we have become a nation of followers of the BIG STUPID ONE, no one really knows how to honor the Constitution or state laws or moral laws anymore.
Makes me glad God removed me from that position. I could see this coming and I know it has to grieve God. That someone is forced to do something against their religious beliefs in America is so wrong. If same sex couples want to marry they need to find someone who will do it and not force their wishes on others.
God loves all people not their sins. Read what the marriage laws say, man and woman.
They reserve the right refuse service to who ever they want! Free country. We dont have to cater to anyone!
I thought we had freedom of choice in this country. Just as the couple has the right of choice to marry, these ministers should have the choice of who they marry. They would not be fined if they chose not to marry a manand a woman.
he has his right to his belief
It is so wrong to be charged where our are rights?
Absurd. Freedom of religion. They can marry whom ever they choose. Don’t like it go somewhere else. If your 12 yo or already married they refuse too
