That right – NY is the first State to have a lawsuit against religious people because they refuse to have a Toeiva wedding on their farm. Thank you Cuomo the H–O and all those that voted for the leftist libs in the NY State Gov.
You sound surprised. Welcome to N.Y.
Who made it illegal to refuse someone to get married on your farm because their marriage/lifestyle doesn’t fit with your religious beliefs?
Wrong. There was another case in Vermont. The Wildflower Inn had to pay a hefty fine. They no longer host weddings of any persuasion.
Health, instead of assuming, you could look it up. There’s an interesting twist in the Wildflower Inn case. The owners are Catholic, and they are personally against gay marriage because of their religious convictions. Their lawyer says their policy was to reveal their religious beliefs to potential customers, but to agree to host all kinds of weddings anyway so as to be in compliance with the law (and in fact, in a 2005 case, they did this, and the state said it was OK). However, one of their (now former) employees told the couple in question that they would not allow the wedding because of the owners’ beliefs. Presumably, the reason they settled the case is that it would have been too costly to fight it in the courts.
1. If they have a commercial “wedding venue” that isn’t tied to a single religion, I could imagine how that would violate the discrimnation law.
2. Maryland is both super-blue, but much less hostile towards religion. I suspect it is because the the Maryland Democratic party is heavily dependent on the state’s socially conservative African American community, whereas New York’s Democrats are dominated by “frei” Jews and a much more ethnically diverse crowd, none of which are especially known for their religious piety.
Dont forget the holy people who will vote for whomever as long as the $$$ keep rolling in.
@ Crisis,
What does your comment have to do with the topic at hand? Was it just an opportunity to make a thinly veiled hateful remark?
crisisoftheweek:
I tend to believe that in many places outside New York, the Democrats are afraid that if they alienate the “holy people” they might not be able to permanently buy their support. In fact, that may be true in New York as well (considering two recent wins for Republicans in super-blue Brooklyn – you do know that Dodgers/Met “blue” is the official borough color).
