An Arizona wedding planner last week refused to work with a same-sex couple once she realized that they were gay.
Kenyata White found Susan Latimer's wedding planning business online and started working with Latimer to plan a December wedding. White referred to her fiancée Chrystal Allen just as her fiancée during the first stages of the planning process.
But when White mentioned her fiancée by name, Latimer, an ordained minister, said she could no longer plan the wedding.
"We are very uncomfortable with same-sex marriage as it is directly against our beliefs. We would not be a very good fit," Latimer wrote to White a week ago.
"It was just crazy that she (Rev. Latimer) just completely turned," White said about the email, according to KTAR. "I really felt like our conversations and our interaction was really genuine, and she really did like me at first."
Because the business, AffordableWeddingMinisters.com is run by two ordained ministers, Latimer's refusal may not be illegal.
Attorney Brendan Mahoney, who helped draft the Phoenix LGBT anti-discrimination law, told Arizona TV station 12 News that the First Amendment protects religious businesses from anti-discrimination law.
We get closer and closer to the day when these people can no longer call themselves 'Christians' without being laughed off the stage.

If it is run by ministers....I don't believe it should be illegal....but it depends on AZ's PA (public accomodation) laws and how they are written.
Religion IS their business.If it is run by ministers....I don't believe it should be illegal....but it depends on AZ's PA (public accomodation) laws and how they are written.
Why do only ministers get religious freedom? I fail to see that limitation in the 1st amendment.

In this case the law in Arizona is on the side of the ministers and that will be the end of it.There is no shame for the wedding planner to argue the case. The PA law will be the rule, and that will be the end of it.
You are clueless as to what it means to be a Christian. You cry about Christians judging and then you judge Christians with unfounded accusations, hypocrite.We get closer and closer to the day when these people can no longer call themselves 'Christians' without being laughed off the stage.
