Reeducation Camps (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reeducation_camp). What could possibly be wrong with that? ::)
A couple who hosts occasional wedding ceremonies on their New York farm have lost an appeal to overturn the $13,000 in fines levied against them by the state’s human rights agency, which ruled that their refusal to host a wedding for two women was discriminatory.
On Jan. 14, the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Third Department, upheld the agency’s order and the fines, a decision the Alliance Defending Freedom - which represented Robert and Cynthia Gifford - said amounted to confirming, “that the government can punish the Giffords for declining to coordinate a ceremony that conflicts with their conscience.”
The couple lives in a barn they built on their farm and have occasionally hosted weddings on the first floor and the surrounding backyard area, according to ADF.
“After the agency ruled that the Giffords were guilty of ‘sexual orientation discrimination,’ it fined them $10,000, plus $3,000 in damages and ordered them to implement re-education training classes designed to contradict the couple’s religious beliefs about marriage,” a press release issued following the court decision stated.
In order to comply with the order, the couple will have to attend those “re-training” classes or have a “trainer” come to them, according to ADF.

I wonder if it chaffed the judge's asshole when he wiped his ass with the Constitution.
-
And the re education camps begin. >:(
-
And this is why we need to destroy the government (actually those running the government) and perform our own reeducation camps on learning how to read the constitution.
-
All this "re-education" and yet the libs are the most offended people on earth.

The new way to attack the First amendment is to legislate behavior, and lump speech into behavior to avoid calling it what it is, Communist Re-Education, and Censorship.

This is exactly what they are doing. It is very, very scary that we as a society have allowed our government to do this type of thing. This all started in the early 1960's with "psycho-babble", and everyone's concern about their "feelings".

Where is the ACLU when people like this need help? AWOL.

The court write up says Liberty Ridge is a place of public accommodation. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't those kind of companies have to abide by anti-discrimination laws?
And if so, why tell the lesbians that you won't host them because of their orientation? Why not just say you can't host them and let it end there?

Do you think the result would be different if the farmers lied to the militant lesbians?
And what do you think of the reeducation camp sentence?

Uh, YEAH. I do. Ms. Gifford flat out told Ms. McCarthy that her sexual orientation was the reason for the denial of services in a venue of public accommodation. One cannot offer public services to opposite sex couples and not to same sex couples. Textbook discrimination.
If the Giffords lied, there would be no way the McCarthy's could prove discrimination. "Sorry ma'am, we are completely booked that day." They wanted to prove a point, and so did the McCarthy's. The McCarthy's, however, are in the right side of the law.
I chuckled about the reeducation camp. Those kooky New Yorkers...if it's true.
But I didn't see that part in the brief...so it sounds a tad hyperbolic.

I'm no lawyer, so people still like me, but it makes me think- I see those "We retain the right to refuse service to anyone." signs up in establishments still to this day. Do these signs have any legal standing anymore? I suspect not.

And religious freedom suffers a fatal blow.
