“Homosexuals Attack Another Christian Business, Trampling Everyones Rights But Theirs”

September 20th, 2014

Recently Cynthia and Robert Gifford were fined $13,000 for "discriminating" against two lesbians who wanted to have a "gay wedding" on their New York farm. The lesbians approached the Giffords in 2012 to inquire about holding their "nuptials" at the Liberty Ridge Farm in Schaghticoke, New York. When informed that the Giffords are Christians and believe that marriage is restricted to one man and one woman, the lesbians filed a complaint with New York's Division of Human Rights, "claiming they had been discriminated against as a result of their sexual orientation." "A judge subsequently ruled in their favor, rejecting the Giffords' argument that the family owns a private business that is legally permitted to issue such refusals. Judge Migdalia Pares ruled that Liberty Ridge Farm is a public accommodation because it rents its space and regularly collects fees from the public" ("After Being Fined," The Blaze, Aug. 29, 2014). The judge also required the Giffords to pay $1,500 each to the lesbians. The Giffords have decided to stop hosting any weddings on their property.
