There wasn’t going to be any slippery slope, or so we were told.<br /><br />Two ministers in Idaho are facing up to 6 months in jail and up to $1000 in fines for each day that they continue to refuse to perform a same-sex wedding that a gay couple requested last Friday.<br />http://www.adfmedia.org/News/PRDetail/9364<br /><br />H/T http://hogewash.com/2014/10/19/slip-sliding-away-2/<br /><br />-- SteveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-27488167617366917442014-10-16T22:52:11.699-05:002014-10-16T22:52:11.699-05:00Thought Miss D. {yes, you are correct to the best ...Thought Miss D. {yes, you are correct to the best of my knowledge, Annise Parker has no children - no idea about friends with kids} might appreciate this, just posted it at WND:<br />I just had a thought - what will be the outcome, when people dressed as transgendered, enter a restroom in, say, a lesbian venue ?

Conversely, a woman dressed as a man, goes into the restroom at a gay bar ?

I suspect I would disagree with those churches stances on homosexuality, but am stunned by the attempt at thought control by the blatant and open violation of the first amendment.<br /><br />So I would suggest that the pastors turn the tables and respond by saying that their sermons are not written ahead of time. Then invite the Mayor and government officials to come to the services and listen for themselves.
