Now while I understand that the cause and I understand that we still have a struggle for acceptance but we need to real about the situations. If someone doesn’t want your ‘gay’ money, take it somewhere else. You will find people who accept you and would love to help you have wedding of your dreams. Why go through all of this just because the said no? No matter where you choose to have your wedding now, this will always be with you and I cannot see how the day of your dreams will be what you wanted.

Like i said, I UNDERSTAND the battles we are still fighting everyday but taking them to the Human Rights Commission, putting yourself and everyone involved through all this stress and drama, why give yourself an ulcer and put them out of business?
NONE of us are accepting of everyone else and everything they stand for and believe in and if you say otherwise you are lying. We are all prejudiced in some shape or form. We live in society with an ‘outrage culture’ and people would do anything to go viral.
