During the court hearing, Honorable Myron Danus handed down the sentence.

 56-year-old Paul Horner has been sentenced to one-year in prison after he refused to wed gay couple. The sentencing of Paul, a Christian priest at the Proctor Church in Vermont comes shortly after the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision ruling that states must allow gay-marriage.

Paul Horner’s attorney, Tom Downey also said: Horner was just using his best judgement according to his rights and religious freedom in this country.’

During the court hearing, Honorable Myron Danus handed down the sentence saying: ‘Religious freedom goes both ways, Mr. Horner, It is not your place to deny individuals the same rights that everyone else has, rights that were passed down and agreed upon in a court of law.’

‘The ultimate court, the Supreme Court. It is not your decision whether or not you agree with the law but more importantly that you follow it and enforce it.’

Can you imagine the statement above? .

PMB should not allow any effort by USA through any means to enforce this madness in Nigeria.

Bro, Why are we screaming in shock at what's going on? The bible already spoke of these things.

2 Timothy 3:13 Already has said it will get worse. So please brace up and expect worse things. Perhaps it could be legalization of marriage between humans & animals, who knows? After all, the transgender move is already gradually trending.

Appeal against this judgement.

Pastors even disagree marrying some male and female couples if they do not meet the church standards set by the marriage committee
