Colorado woman refused funeral because she was a lesbian.

So the unfortunate story of a Colorado woman whose funeral was canceled moments before we started making it rounds of news outlets in social media.
The narrative goes to the woman's family had paid for the funeral be held at the church and had a video commemorating the woman's life, the church upon viewing the video moments before the funeral started raised objections because it showed pictures of the deceased proposing to and kissing her legally wed what. The church objected and asked for the video to the altar the family refused and so the funeral moments after it began with hundreds of people in the pews was canceled, the deceased in her casket had to be transported by pallbearers across the street to another funeral home where they then held the funeral.

Now my normal liberal response to this should be red-hot moral indignation. But the more I read about the church and the pastor in question, the more I'm utterly dumbfounded at how this happened. The church in question had a clearly stated and out of the open stance on homosexual members of their congregation. Which stated they were free to come and worship with them without fear of being ostracized or judged but that references to homosexuality and the LGBT lifestyle were unacceptable in their place of worship. So the idea of showing them this video and asking them will is this okay for us to show confuses and frustrates me.

Now if someone wants to have a discussion about the legal implications of this I can. The family paid for the church to render service which the church then failed to render, and discussion full refund which the church has not given the family as of yet. So this is absolutely a matter for civil court. But as a social issue I can't help feel that this is a moot point. If you think that the church are backwards ass fascist bigots, fine I agree don't go to that church. Hell feel free to not associate with anybody that goes to that church, socially boycott them.

But going into a place of worship and telling them that they have to accept your lifestyle and beliefs and sensibilities is just as asinine as religious organizations say you can't have a gay marriage because they don't agree with that. Religious freedom means freedom from other people's religion and the door swings both ways.

If you believe in religion that doesn't eat meat that doesn't mean you get to tell other people they can eat me, but we shouldn't be surprised if that religion gets mad if somebody comes into their place of worship in each hamburger.

And if we want to have a discussion about religions being made up, or the roles of those religions being made by men with social agendas, or your interpretation of what Jesus had in store for everybody. That's fine but other people don't have to agree with what you think, the Old Testament states on several occasions that homosexuality is a sin. If you disagree fine, if you think it's unforgivable sin and we should just be more understanding of one another okay. But our country was founded on the idea that you were free from having someone else's religious beliefs forced on you.

Some are real confusion with this very unfortunate and tragic story comes when I think about what the family was thinking, this video should've been run across the minister before hand. Why would they want to have this funeral in this church to begin with.

Now ladies and gentlemen I am by no means insinuating that the family had any ulterior motive, I am not saying they were out to make a political statement or causes scene.
But I will say that if I were a douche bag right wing conservative radio talk show host that's totally what I would claim.
