Jack-boot thugs: A Iowan Mennonite couple that owns an art gallery has filed suit against the state’s Civil Rights Commission after being threatened with punishment for refusing to host a same-sex wedding on their property.
Posted from Tennessee.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

This will be an interesting decision, I think it will hinge on whether the couple represents themselves and their associated facility with their religion. Can the state mandate that this couple participate in making their facility available to people with whom they are at religious odds with? Could a couple that worships Satin or people that are members of NAMBLA force them to provide their facility?
Is there a difference between services and products offered for sale to the public and access to a particular facility, which can also be considered a service?
Where is the parting line between discrimination and individuals rights, even if the individuals are in business open to the public?
They will lose this only because they are willing to offer homosexuals other services. Like access to the gallery and sales of art.
Willing to do one service makes them “willing” to do all of their services.
I do understand their point though.
Selling art to a gay person is not the same as promoting and providing services for their union. A union against all aspects of your beliefs.
I’m willing to sell food and clothing to a murderer. But that does not mean I would have to sell them fire arms?
I might be willing to rent an apartment to a child molester but does that mean I have to rent the one next to the household of 5 kids?
(I’m not saying gays are like child molesters just asking were my choice ends and theirs takes over)
