B&B owner says he won't host "gay weddings"
Will Brumleve news-gazette.com "PAXTON — For almost two years, Jim Walder has not allowed civil-union ceremonies at his bed-and-breakfast near Paxton. And come June, same-sex weddings will be next on the list of activities to be legally recognized in Illinois, yet banned at the TimberCreek Bed & Breakfast. 'As long as I own TimberCreek, there will never be a gay marriage at this wedding venue,' Walder said. Walder, a Christian, has stood up publicly for his religious freedoms since 2011, when a gay couple from Mattoon filed a civil-rights complaint alleging he discriminated against them when he refused to host their civil-union ceremony at his business, which advertises itself as a site for weddings and other special events. As he continues to await a ruling on that complaint by the Illinois Human Rights Commission, Walder is now expecting further legal battles once the new state law legalizing same-sex marriages goes into effect June 1. He hopes state lawmakers can amend the law to allow businesses like his to choose whether they want to allow gay marriages on their properties, based on their personal beliefs." to read more: news-gazette.com
