–An excerpt from an email by the American Family Association’s president, Tim Wildmon. Wildmon claims that Christian business owners will “face fines” and “mandatory gay brain-washing”, citing the example of Liberty Ridge Farms, which refused to host a same-sex wedding and was fined $13,000 for doing so by a New York judge as it constituted a “denial of access to a place of public accommodation”, illegal under New York’s non-discrimination laws.
