In case anyone isn't familiar with Mennonites, they are a slightly more "liberal" offshoot/branch of the Amish Communities (same heritage, they used to be Amish but Mennonites will use modern technology even though the moral codes are just as strict, including women's attire).
I figured this would be an interesting topic amongst the ultra left and ultra right posters.
I can't imagine why a gay couple that wanted to have a happy fun wedding would decide it had to be at a Mennonite run venue! The owners offered cake and flowers but declined to have the actual wedding ceremony on their premises.

A Mennonite couple in Iowa who declined to host a same-sex wedding at their business has filed a counter-lawsuit against the state’s Civil Rights Commission, fearing that the agency will make them pay financial damages and host the events.
