'Gay' couple to sue Illinois B&Bs that wouldn't host civil 'union'
Two gay men who were recently united in a civil union ceremony at their Illinois home say they’ll sue two bed-and-breakfasts that refused to host the event.
Advocates say it’s part of a growing clash between religious freedom and gay rights.
The Timber Creek Bed and Breakfast in Paxton and the Beall Mansion in Alton told the couple they wouldn’t host a civil union.

This is the type of law that needs to passed in those states which allow queer marriages in this country.
All 50 states should have in their constitutions what Nebraska has in its Constitution,
"Only marriage between a man and a woman shall be valid or recognized in Nebraska. The uniting of two persons of the same sex in a civil union, domestic partnership or other similar same-sex relationship shall not be valid or recognized in Nebraska."
I am proud to see small business owners stand up for what they believe. Why do people that choose to live an immoral lifestyle push in down the throats of people who have morals? Isn't that a violation of our civil rights? I know of two B&B's that I would love to visit.
