A Christian couple that refused to use their business as a venue for a gay marriage are now receiving hate mail and threats.
Jackbooted thugs: A Christian couple that refused to use their business as a venue for a gay marriage are now receiving hate mail and threats.
If gays want to get married and the law allows it, there is no reason for them to force those that disagree with them to participate, unless their real goal is to destroy those that disagree. From what I can see, their goal is to destroy.
Readers!
My annual February birthday fund-raising drive for Behind the Black is now over. Thank you to everyone who donated or subscribed. While not a record-setter, the donations were more than sufficient and slightly above average.
As I have said many times before, I can’t express what it means to me to get such support, especially as no one is required to pay anything to read my work. Thank you all again!
For those readers who like my work here at Behind the Black and haven't contributed so far, please consider donating or subscribing. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

The what would seem paradoxical problem in these instances would be if the state licenses the business and / or person who does the marrying and files the papers. Is this a religious ceremony or a civil ceremony ? Where is the parting line? Most states I would assume would not allow any kind of bias based on sexual preference or race. An interesting conundrum.
On the other side are the rights of the person performing the ceremony. Can they be compelled to do business with persons they would prefer not to based on their beliefs?
An interesting question about the rights of those who refuse to perform ceremonies which are contadictory to their religious beliefs. Freedom of Religion is a protected right and should be upheld although their are people who are hostile to it in this country. What about the question of when the religious view is in conflict with the law such as the practice of polygamy? That religious question is settled in the Book of Acts where It is said that one man and one woman is the way God intended it from the beginning;However there are religions who would still want to practice it. I beleive that more damage is done to religious freedom by forcing its followers to engage in activities that violate its tenants. There are also Churches that do accept the Homosexual lifestyle although that would be considered sinful by the majority of Christian Denominations. There is a battle going on now between the Epsiocopalians and the Anglicans over this issue. The Episcopal church is a delineate of the Anglican Church and the Anglicans are still opposed to Gay marriage.
If they turned down Muslims and Buddhists would everyone still be just as upset?
Its their business and their beliefs. Think of it as a private club, its not a government establishment or public accessed area like a park.
The left is going to try pushing this along the idea that since any business gets a permit to operate then they are all government established and thus all are accessible to everyone. They will ignore the fact that business owners are required to get permits from the government, that part is not voluntary.
As soon as a possible I think the KKK should gave a HUGE group wedding in a similar but gay establishment just to see if they would be turned down by the owners or not. I bet they would.
