Howell&rsquo;s reason: &ldquo;we&rsquo;re Christian and we don&rsquo;t.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Cathey had communicated with Howell previously when scheduling the property tour, but had not mentioned the wedding was for two <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">women<\/a>, so they were rebuffed only when they showed up in all their lesbionic splendor. But in an interview with the <em>Democrat<\/em>, Sara&rsquo;s husband Josh Howell explained that the <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">couple<\/a> should not take their decision personally:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&ldquo;It is a violation of our religious beliefs,&rdquo; Josh Howell said. &ldquo;&hellip;We feel we would be dishonoring God, who we serve and He was the one who gave us this business and it is only right we serve him and honor him with it. It would be a sin for us to allow that, so we could not in good conscious do that&hellip;&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The situation was posted Monday in a post on <a href=\"http:\/\/PROMOonline.org\" class=\"autohyperlink\">PROMOonline.org<\/a>. Josh and Sara have read the post, and he wanted to point out something Cathey wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s important to note, one of them said they stopped listening once my wife said she was Christian,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;If they had listened, they&rsquo;d see it&rsquo;s not a personal matter, it&rsquo;s a matter of religious conviction and personal belief.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Although Mr. Howell failed at distinguishing between &ldquo;personal matter&rdquo; and &ldquo;personal belief,&rdquo; he later explained that it was his right to deny their wedding plans because it is his property. On that point, he is correct. Private businesses usually have the right to discriminate against whomever they wish, if there are no anti-discrimination laws against the practice. For example, there was the story of the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.oregonlive.com\/business\/index.ssf\/2015\/09\/sweet_cakes_owners_who_refused.html\" target=\"_blank\">whiny bakers in Oregon<\/a> who wouldn&rsquo;t make a wedding cake for a same-<a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">couple<\/a>, and they&nbsp;were&nbsp;fined $135,000 for breaking the law. But that law was specific to the state of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lambdalegal.org\/sites\/default\/files\/publications\/downloads\/fs_oregon-equality-act_0.pdf\">Oregon<\/a>, which enacted&nbsp;astate-wide LGBT anti-discrimination law in 2007. The state of Missouri&nbsp;does not have any such law, nor does the town of Sedalia on a local level.<\/p>\n<p>The situation at Heritage Ranch arose the same week an LGBT anti-discrimination law&nbsp;was up for vote&nbsp;in&nbsp;Houston, Texas, and&nbsp;was soundly defeated at the polls.&nbsp;This one seemed like an easy win &mdash;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com\/davidbadash\/watch_houston_mayor_annise_parker_delivers_awesomely_honest_hero_concession_speech\" target=\"_blank\">Houston has a lesbian mayor<\/a>&nbsp;&mdash; but it failed largely&nbsp;because the vast majority of&nbsp;eligible voters in the city did not vote. And, of course,&nbsp;the Christian Right developed a slick advertising campaign.<\/p>\n<p>What will happen with Heritage Ranch? Probably not much. They will get lots of hate emails and phone messages from angry pro-LGBT people, but then they will get right-wing supporters to hold their weddings there. And of course they <em>will<\/em> welcome&nbsp;LGBT people who are wedding planners, florists, caterers, musicians and DJs to work&nbsp;there, as well as be guests of other people&rsquo;s&nbsp;weddings. Such are the moral dilemmas of the community,&nbsp;as we&nbsp;are expected to politely absorb&nbsp;the impact of these&nbsp;instances of&nbsp;passive humiliation.<\/p>\n<p>This is why anti-discrimination laws are important. Granted, there are lots of venues in Missouri that would love to host a&nbsp;<a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> wedding. But there will come a time when someone may not have a choice to go someplace else, but they still need to get through life, and for that they may need to have the law on their side.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, in Missouri and 27 other states, it is not.<\/p>\n<p><em>(For a list of states that do and do not have LGBT anti-discrimination laws in effect, see this map on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lgbtmap.org\/equality-maps\/non_discrimination_laws\">Think Progress<\/a>.)<\/em><\/p>\n<div>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/queerty2?a=c-9_65NQdRo:cTtk_I17XvM:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/queerty2?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/queerty2?a=c-9_65NQdRo:cTtk_I17XvM:dnMXMwOfBR0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/queerty2?d=dnMXMwOfBR0\" border=\"0\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Dan Renzi<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedproxy.google.com\/~r\/queerty2\/~3\/c-9_65NQdRo\/wedding-venue-in-missouri-denies-lesbian-couple-because-they-can-20151106\" class=\"autohyperlink\">feedproxy.google.com\/~r\/queerty2\/~3\/c-9_65NQdRo\/wedding-venue-in-missouri-denies-lesbian-couple-because-they-can-20151106<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wedding Venue In Missouri Denies Lesbian Couple, Because They Can Same-<a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> weddings are legal nationwide, but finding a place to do it isn&rsquo;t always easy, as a <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">lesbian<\/a> <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">couple<\/a> found out while they were planning their wedding ceremony.
