Wanted: Liberal Wedding Singers Only

Written by Orestes Brownson on Wednesday March 10, 2010

D.C. is expecting a jump in wedding-related business now that same-sex marriages are being recognized. But what effect will the new laws have on those in the wedding industry who don't support gay marriage?

A report in Wednesday’s Washington Post discusses the expected boon in wedding-related work now that the District of Columbia is recognizing same-sex marriages.

Now, that's interesting.  Because a few of my friends who are involved in that industry (flowers, photography and such), and don't believe in gay marriage will now have to have lawyers on retainer just in case a gay couple sues them for discrimination.

Also, it seems that you have to disclose that you don't do gay weddings on the major marketing websites, which means that rich liberal straight couples can discriminate against you for your religious beliefs by only throwing their business to the "affirming."

So, yes, it's not a good time for the wedding business... if you are the wrong religion.  You'd think they would have mentioned that part of the equation too.
