Mississippi Venue Turns Away Gay Couple: We Don't Do "Mixed Race" or "Gay" Weddings

Mississippi Venue Turns Away Gay Couple: We Don’t Do “Mixed Race” or “Gay” Weddings – VIDEO

A mixed race couple was turned away from Boone’s Camp Event Hall when the owner of the Booneville, Miss., after the business sent them a message: They would not be allowed to get married at the venue after all “because of (the venue’s) beliefs.”

When the groom’s sister LaKambria Welch heard the news that her brother, who is black, would not be allowed to rent the venue to marry his fiancée, who is a white woman, she drove to the venue herself. There, she filmed an encounter with a woman who works for Boone’s Camp

“First of all, we don’t do gay weddings or mixed race, because of our Christian race—I mean, our Christian belief,” the woman tells Welch in the video.

“Okay, we’re Christians as well,” Welch replies.

“Yes ma’am,” the woman says.

“So, what in the Bible tells you that—?,” Welch beings to ask, before getting cut off by the apparent Boone’s camp employee.

“Well, I don’t want to argue my faith,” the woman says.“No, that’s fine,” Welch replies.

“We just don’t participate,” the woman says.

“Okay,” Welch responds.

“We just choose not to,” the woman continues.

“Okay. So that’s your Christian belief, right?,” Welch asks.

“Yes ma’am.”

Welch says she believes the venue found out her brother and his fiancée, whose names she has not provided to DSV, through Facebook.

“The owner took a look at my brother’s fiancée’s page and wrote her back to say they won’t be able to get married there because of her beliefs, He told my mom and she contacted the owner through messenger to only get a ‘seen’ with no reply. That’s when I took it upon myself to go get clarification on her beliefs.”

Katelynn Springsteen, also claims the venue refused to offer its services to a lesbian couple last year.

“I was trying to find my best friend, who is lesbian, a wedding venue. I was immediately shot down when I was asked if they were okay with a gay wedding,” Springsteen said.

I don’t think ole’ Frothy has anything to worry about. No LGBT person is going to invite him to their wedding…….well….maybe some boot licker Log Cabin Pugs. But they’re not really gay anyway.

 

 

Ex-HGTV Benham Twin’s Father “Pastor” Flip Benham Screams Insults And Disrupts Same Sex Weddings In North Carolina

Evil Prayers

 

So-called “Pastor”Flip Benham, father of the anti-gay tow-headed twins who were booted the HGTV network after their homophobia and bigotry were exposed , joined two other “Christian” protesters over the weekend to scream insults at same-sex couples  marrying outside a North Carolina courthouse.

Matt Comer at Q Notes reports:

Three anti-LGBT protesters were present outside the register’s office, including well-known street preacher and convicted stalker Flip Benham. He interrupted several couples’ weddings as supporters held up a large rainbow flag to block his view. Another protester waved a bible in the air as he screamed several profanities and vulgarities. He was asked by sheriff’s deputies to tone it down or leave. He opted for the latter. Despite the protesters, those gathered celebrated at each of the several weddings held outside the register’s office.

Nothing screams “Christian” more than waving a bible and yelling Fuck You!

Gay Marriages Begin In England and Wales, P.M. David Cameron Congratulates Country and Couples

gay accepting

With the law changing at midnight, same-sex marriages have  begun to marry in England and Wales with hundreds of gay ,lesbian, and bisexual couples  timing it so their vows are being just seconds after the new law went into effect.

Stated British Prime Minister David Cameron, writing for Pink News.

“The introduction of same-sex civil marriage says something about the sort of country we are. It says we are a country that will continue to honour its proud traditions of respect, tolerance and equal worth. It also sends a powerful message to young people growing up who are uncertain about their sexuality. It clearly says ‘you are equal’ whether straight or gay. That is so important in trying to create an environment where people are no longer bullied because of their sexuality – and where they can realise their potential, whether as a great mathematician like Alan Turing, a star of stage and screen like Sir Ian McKellen or a wonderful journalist and presenter like Clare Balding. We are a nation that is growing stronger economically because of our long term economic plan. But I hope we can also be a country that is growing stronger socially because we value love and commitment equally. Let us raise a toast to that – and all those getting married this weekend.”

Sometimes I think it might have been better if we lost the Revolutionary War.

FRC’s Tony Perkins Blows Gasket Over Lesbian Military Wedding At West Point

Army officials are experts at following orders–except when it comes to federal marriage law. For the second time in two weeks, the brass at West Point opened its gates to lesbian ‘wedding’ ceremonies in direct defiance of the Defense of Marriage Act. Adding insult to the law’s injury, Saturday’s service was held in the Cadet Chapel, a 176-year-old house of worship that has been the heartbeat of the Academy’s Christian community for almost two centuries. Brenda Fulton, one of the ‘brides,’ said the Chapel was a particularly meaningful site, because it’s where she first heard the Cadet Prayer: ‘Make us to choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong’ — words that, in the end, even West Point failed to live up to. Fulton and her same-sex partner marched down the aisle knowing full well they were leading the military’s own processional away from the rule of law.” – Family Research Council hate group President and all around douchebag Tony Perkins, via press release.

WOW Tony.  First they let non-whites in, then they let females attend West Point and VMA, now the gays are serving openly and getting married there. What ever will become of our military?

Sucks to be you lately, doesn’t it?
