re: #722 iceweasel

NJ. A pavilion. And the reason they sued is because the church let all kinds of people perform all kinds of services there (others denominations and non-denominational). That’s why they got sued. They refused to rent out to a gay couple holding a civil union ceremony— when they rented out to everyone else.

BTW, they didn’t even have to pay damages. they just lost their tax exempt status, as I recall. They wanted to have it both ways. (ha!)

The “everyone else” argument is relevant only if previous renters performed acts there that directly contradict Christian teaching. I haven’t found any evidence of this.
