[QUOTE="Mayzoo, post: 72852609, member: 74689"] You can refuse service to anyone so long as you do not site discriminatory reasons for doing so. If your reasons are discriminatory, you are best to remain silent when asked. Participation in a wedding would include: 1. Being one of the two parties getting married. 2. Officiating the vows. 3. Being in the wedding party. 4. Being a guest (and trust me, not all guests approve of the wedding they are attending.) 5. Sure I am missing a few :) BUT not the person who cut the flowers for the decorations, the guy who changed the oil in the honeymoon vehicle, the cashier at the gas station, or the one who printed the stationary for the invitations....these people are not even on site during the wedding. They are being paid for a service they freely choose to provide to the general public. Providing a distant service ,for a wedding, that you willingly hired yourself out for does not count as "participating" in a wedding. The baker is not on premises during any of the wedding. They are being paid for a service to the general public they willing choose to offer as a means of earning money. There is not a hint of approval or disapproval in the paid service providers participation. If the contention is that providing the service you commonly hire yourself out for is moral approval, I would like to see a notation/example of a baker, florist, photographer asking each (or any for that matter) potential wedding client if they are getting remarried. If they answer is yes, then these folks [U]must[/U] be asking the follow up of documentation for the divorce to prove the second wedding is not based in adultery. Adultery made it into the ten commandments, so if religious morality/purity is the REAL motive, then this one must weigh VERY heavily on these peoples mind--so it would not be something they neglected to ask each and every time. And, if they are asking, it would be documented in the news somewhere during all this discussion of morality in service providers participating in these weddings. If people do not wish to provide wedding (or fill in the blank) services they are free to stop doing so. It is not complicated. You either offer your services to the general public or you do not. Oh, and I also believe the restaurant owner should have provided service to Mrs. Sanders. Political reasons for not serving someone.........*sigh*. If you are offering services to the general public, then just provide them to the general public folks---maybe even offer a smile and a thank you?? Is it really THIS hard people? [/QUOTE]
