Another day, another Christian wedding vendor turning away a same sex couple.
Pink News reports:
A Christian wedding boutique in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, has found itself amid a controversy for refusing to serve a lesbian couple. The WW Bridal shop’s owners spoke to local media, and admitted turning away a lesbian couple because of their religious beliefs. They said they had sought legal counsel in case the couple decide to sue. Because the state of Pennsylvania does not have a law banning discrimination based on sexual orientation, attorneys have suggested the shop may be within its rights.
This remains the thorniest question in the wake of marriage equality wins across the USA. But would it be ok if the store turned away an elderly couple because they couldn’t procreate? Or a mixed-race couple because of the store owners’ religious beliefs?
