Country Inn Denies Service to Lesbian Couple
A country inn in Vermont is fighting against American Civil Liberties Union, which has filed a discrimination lawsuit against the country inn owners for refusing to host a wedding reception for a lesbian couple. The ACLU of Vermont filed the suit on behalf of Katherine Baker and Ming-Lien Linsley in Vermont's Superior Court against the country inn Wildflower.
The lawsuit claims, the family received an e-mail from the country inn-keepers, stating that the booking for the reception of the lesbian couple stands cancelled. Unfortunately due to the owners' personal feelings, the country inns Wildflower do not host gay receptions at their facility.
In the court documents the country inn denied that it had a policy of refusing to host receptions for same-sex couples' civil unions or weddings.
