Christian couple fined $13,000 for refusing to rent their wedding facility to a same-sex couple.

The facility is the farm where they've lived for 25 years, but they've made a business of offering it commercially for wedding ceremonies and receptions.
“We respect and care for everyone!’’ Cynthia Gifford told me. “We had an openly gay man working for us this past season... We’ve had a woman who’s transitioning to be a man. We don’t discriminate against anyone.... This is scary... It’s scary for all Americans."

nothing in Christianity requires that you not rent farmland to non-Christians.

Who the fuck anointed you to decide what the tenants of faith are for other people?

"What is being violated is the plain old secular right to freedom of association -- but that right was taken out back and shot by the Warren court a long time ago."

I think you have that wrong. We still have a limited right of free association, for private purposes. What is being infringed in this case is the right to control the use of your own property, if you use it in commerce.
