The Family Research Council (US) just sent through a list of examples around the US highlighting the profound loss of liberty that accompanies the march down the same-sex “wedding” aisle, including business owners (and wedding vendors in particular) who are being persecuted, and in some cases prosecuted, for refusing to participate in a same-sex “marriage” ceremony.
The media isn’t covering the stories of these victims — not because they don’t exist — but because liberals recognize their potential to swing the debate. These examples trump the First Amendment rights of wedding vendors and others who were fired, sued, harassed, fined, and suspended for their beliefs.
Read the stories for yourself (and note that in some states, same-sex marriage isn’t even legal yet!):
