Wedding Venue Says NO!

by John Smid | Feb 5, 2019

JohnSmidPensiveB&W#1A Dallas wedding venue, “The Venue at Waterstone” said “no” to a gay couple. Their website says they serve any bride and a groom “whether or not they share our beliefs.”

Any man and woman desiring to join together and make public this most sacred covenant, whether or not they share in our beliefs, are welcome to join together and celebrate at The Venue at Waterstone.

What bothers me is that they clearly say they’ll allow people whether or not they share their convictions…..unless…. they’re gay. So they could be way across the map from them spiritually, but no deal if they’re gay. There are many gay couples who are very conservative spiritually and they might be totally in alignment with this organization spiritually!

It’s just sad. A wedding venue that could represent itself well by loving all people equally, showing service to all.

Regardless of differing beliefs, to show a universal loving care for their community in my opinion, would be the best witness of Jesus. Sharing their beautiful venue with others without any conditions on circumstances would be amazing. To love others without conditional judgment is, in my opinion, the way of Jesus.

Hmm. It seems the was the witness of Jesus!
