Couple must pay lesbian couple $1500 each, on top of 10K fine

Nope.Only radical academic feminism, which all decent people disparage.
Some men believe if a woman doesn't believe that shes only to be mans doormat, it means shes a feminist.

That is ridiculous and awful. Equity feminism - the idea that women are equal to men - is something I support fully.
The kind of radical stuff I mean (Andrea Dworkin, that type of radical lesbian) is much, much different than normal feminism.

For the same reason the Colorado baker who refused to make a gay wedding cake, and the New Mexico photographer who refused to shoot at a gay wedding.
They felt they were metaphorically participating in the event, and then were forced to pay very non-metaphorical compensation to those they discriminated against.
I think I'll take that bet of yours
I agree, but some men still lump any woman who doesn't believe he can lord himself over them or that hes a master of the universe, is a feminist. I do believe youve seen that kind of behavior happen on this board, havent you?

Nope.
So... you smoked what skybringr was smoking, but you didn't inhale?

ok
since its happened already and the hosts won. You are comparing the wrong thing - there is a huge difference in allowing a venue to be rented and marrying someone. If you were right (youre not) all pastors would be required to perform same sex weddings if they ever received any compensation for performing a wedding (most receive compensation for it) and there is already a state law there that states it doesnt have to be done.
An example of this recently where the aclu defended the hosts and the city backed off:
http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2014/October/Idaho-Ministers-Told-Peform-Gay-Marriage-or-Go-to-Jail/ where they were told by the city they must perform same sex weddings-
Resolution: http://www.religionnews.com/2014/10/24/idaho-city-chapel-owners-exempt-from-discrimination-law/where they are exempt because of their religious beliefs since they perform the ceremony.

Exactly!
Which is exactly why pastors aren't successfully getting sued for doing something against their religion, while venue owners,bakers or photographers are getting their behinds handed to them in court.
Glad you realize that, they werent renting spaces for weddings they were performing them, they rent spaces for receptions, they hosted weddings in their home themselves, and now will no longer do so for anyone.
They even offered the pervert women the ability to use their space for their reception.
I just proved you wrong. See the links i provided.

Again though, the Giffords are still providing a venue for receptions for same sex couples celebrating their unions, and they're receiving compensation for it. If they felt that strongly about not being a wedding venue, I have to wonder why they're okay with being the reception venue where bride and bride or groom and groom are celebrating their marriages.
Marrying someone and renting a space to someone for any party isnt the same thing. Renting a space isnt hosting or providing the party.
Do you think they should close altogether and not have a business?

Sorry. Radical feminist like Andrea Dworkin proclaim that ALL heterosexual sex - ALL heterosexual intercourse even between loving married couples with children - is ALWAYS rape.
Sick , sick, anti-life stuff.
Sorry. Ain't gonna defend it. Nope. No way.

Of course not.
I'm saying I find it interesting that they're profiting off a same sex union.
They are profiting off renting their land.

But you patted skybringr on the back for his anti-woman sentiment, none of which had anything at all to do with Andrea Dworkin.

To allow the celebration of what is, in their eyes, an abomination.
What services do they provide? What do they create for them to aid them? Nothing, those having the party have to set all that up themselves. They deny what they have to perform which would be celebration.
Can a hotel refuse guests because of what might go on in it? No they just rent the space. They arent aiding or celebrating.
