Idaho Religious Freedom Lawsuit

Some of my critics have claimed that ministers will not be forced to perform gay weddings against their conscience. Think again.

Here’s an example of Christian ministers being forced by the government to perform gay marriages against the Bible’s clear teaching and against their conscience (or face jail time and pay large fines).

Numerous other venues (including some Christian churches which do not follow the Bible on this topic) are available. The wedding chapel in question is across the street from a county clerk’s office.

This is just the latest in a series of Christian florists, bakers, photographers, reception venues, etc. being targeted and forced to change their beliefs or shut down their businesses. Read more about Alliance for Defending Freedom here, which has taken the Idaho wedding chapel case.
