Why aren't the owners' religious beliefs being protected? I'm all for gay marriage but this is pretty dumb. Sounds like this couple was just fishing for cash.

Considering that they recorded the telephone conversation with the property owners, I'd say that is a fair assumption.

Religious beliefs dont absolve people from accommodation laws. Religious entities are protected, but not individuals. If you hold weddings on your private land, you must hold them for any couple legally allowed to marry in your state.

I think its bullshite, but that is the law and it isnt enforced just when it comes to gays.
