Fined $13,000 by New York State For Not Marrying Homosexuals, Christian Farmers Are Fighting Back Against ‘Discrimination’ Ruling

DailySignal.com:

A couple who declined to allow a same-sex wedding ceremony on their family farm in upstate New York filed an appeal today that their attorney says will challenge “every facet” of a recent discrimination ruling against them.

In September 2012, a lesbian couple approached Cynthia and Robert Gifford about holding their wedding on the Giffords’ Liberty Ridge Farm. The Giffords, who both grew up in Clifton Park, N.Y., declined, citing their religious beliefs that marriage is between one man and one woman.

Because Liberty Ridge Farm is open to the public for seasonal activities, such as its annual fall festival, the state of New York classifies it as a public accommodation that cannot discriminate on the basis of certain personal characteristics, including sexual orientation.

The lesbian couple, who recorded a telephone conversation with Cynthia Gifford, complained to the New York State Division of Human Rights, which is specifically chartered to prohibit “discrimination” based upon sexual orientation, among other characteristics.

In July, an administrative law judge found the Giffords had discriminated against the couple and ordered fines totaling $13,000—$1,500 mental anguish fine to each of the women and a $10,000 civil damages penalty to the state.

Once again, the powerful, perverted, white, Godless and rich Gay Mafia is targeting Christian business owners around the country and forcing their choice of hedonism down religious people throats. Thanks to Godless Gov. Mario Cuomo, these two dykes could've had their choice to be "married" in hundreds of places around the state. But because they're so evil and vindictive, they specifically targeted the Christian Liberty Ridge Farm, forced them to choose between God's word and man's, knew they'd say no and went ahead and sued them because they're also ugly, miserable and have nothing else better to do then destroy the lives of law-abiding Christians. Sad, indeed.
