From here:

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) announced Tuesday that they are suing a Vermont inn on behalf of a lesbian couple, after the inn’s Christian owners refused to host the couple’s ‘wedding’ reception.

The Wildflower Inn in Lyndonville, owned by Jim and Mary O’Reilly, has a policy against hosting receptions for homosexual ‘weddings’, so when Kate Baker and Ming Linsley of New York City approached them last fall, they were turned away.

The ACLU alleges that the O’Reillys’ policy violates Vermont’s Fair Housing and Public Accommodations Act, which prohibits the denial of goods and services based on customers’ sexual orientation.  The act contains exceptions for religious organizations and small inns with five or fewer rooms, but not larger establishments.

Nevertheless, the O’Reillys, who are devout Catholics, have stood their ground.  “We do not … feel that we can offer our personal services wholeheartedly to celebrate the marriage between same sex couples because it goes against everything that we as Catholics believe in,” they wrote in a statement Tuesday.

“We have never refused rooms or dining or employment to gays or lesbians,” they continued.  “Many of our guests have been same sex couples. We welcome and treat all people with respect and dignity.”

The ACLU ought to be renamed the ACSLU – the “S”, standing for “selective”. The liberties of Jim and Mary O’Reilly should be no less important than those of the lesbian couple: and the O’Reilly’s liberties are far more threatened. If recent events in the UK are anything to go by, it won’t be worth the bother for the Vermont Inn to stay in business, whereas all the lesbian couple needed to do was find somewhere else to hold their reception.
