this is such a simple response its a shame you actually put thought into this. so what your saying is that if you start a busienss you don jnot have to consider the law and act within it. strange how they are not upfront with their prejudices, clearly that would be bad. Never try strike it on your own, your clrearly not built for it.

Second hand information- we have been told other venues that do not allow same sex marriages- Avianto, Morrels, Toadbury Hall, Waterfall Cove.

“…and yes, we have turned away business where we found it distasteful, and found that in doing this, the business has actually increased.” I’m on nobody’s side here, but this sounds like something the owner of Kilcairn could have said to justify his actions as well?

Thing is Ballard, Uncle Jay is not suggesting we force gay people to live in Homelands, just that for certain specific people, they disagree with the notion of same-sex marriage for whatever reason, and so on their property, they have chosen not to host same-sex weddings. The thing with tolerance is that it isn’t only for things we ourselves agree with or believe in, it’s also allowing others to have their own views… and tolerating them as we would wish to be tolerated.

I have noticed it before, that many who themselves wish to be tolerated, not suffer prejudice and so on, are themselves incredibly intolerant of views that differ from their own. If what these particular people are doing is illegal, then the couple in question have a right to pursue that, should they wish to. If not, well, it’s a personal choice. It’s unprofessional, obviously, and financially silly, turning away paying customers, but there it is. Free will.

If you read the entire article you would have read that they did find a new venue which they love and that they have moved on and don’t want this experience to mire their wedding.
All t hey have done is voice their experience….
