I guess it must be hard to accept that a couple of Ministers and a Team of Lawyers with a mission are actually at fault here

So you have evidence about the complete text transcription of of every wedding performed at Hitching Post? You're certain based on your review of that information that every wedding has the exact same text?

This is all very simple to avoid.
Business just need to stop giving reasons for denying service to people they don't agree with.
There is no law demanding a reason be given...just that the reason stated can't be discriminatory.

Just for reference, some states do require it in order for the marriage to be valid. Others don't. Still, others it is grounds for annullment if the marriage is not consummated.
The Knapps aren't concerned over whether or not a consummation will happen, that seals the marriage. They're concerned about the orifices in which it happens.
So is science. Homosexuals cannot consummate their union. Sexual intercourse is not possible. Sexual acts are, but not sexual intercourse.
WRONG! Hope this isn't too graphic for the T&Cs. (MODS: edit if you must)
Sexual intercourse, or coitus or copulation, is chiefly the insertion and thrusting of a male's penis, usually when erect, into a female's vagina for the purposes of sexual pleasure or reproduction; also known as vaginal intercourse or vaginal sex. Other forms of penetrative sexual intercourse include penetration of the anus by the penis (anal sex), penetration of the mouth by the penis or oral penetration of the vulva or vagina (oral sex), sexual penetration by the fingers (fingering), and penetration by use of a strap-on dildo. These activities involve physical intimacy between two or more individuals and are usually used among humans solely for physical or emotional pleasure and commonly contribute to human bonding.
merriam websters defines sexual intercourse as:
1 : heterosexual intercourse involving penetration of the vagina by the penis.
Not sure where you got your definition. But they're obviously trying to be more inclusive to be nice to those deviants out there.
Oh! You like intellectual dishonesty, do you?
Full Definition of SEXUAL INTERCOURSE
1
: heterosexual intercourse involving penetration of the vagina by the penis : coitus
2
: intercourse (as anal or oral intercourse) that does not involve penetration of the vagina by the penis

Assisting people to commit a sin (perform gay marriage) is different from offering a service TO sinners (everyone).

Wait! I thought that sex outside of the marriage bed was a sin! Isn't denying a gay couple a wedding, assisting the couple to commit fornication? Which is worse?
In particular about how it's ok to discriminate against someone you don't even know and know nothing about, except that they are gay.

LOL......
Total lack of evidence??? What about what I just showed you??? Just because you don't want to accept it doesn't mean it's not there.
Like I said before, it's your choice to deny what's right in front of you. There is nothing I can do about you choosing to believe a lie. This is exactly why they are able to get away with this kind of BS scan to begin with.

I have to agree with the other poster that they were proactively updating their website. Is that not within the scope of their rights? People here are really reaching to suggest that anything was inherently shady from changing the website. Businesses have to constantly make sure they are in compliance with some kind of law or regulation, and it's usually not because of some hissy fit someone had, it's more often something very economically technical. Look at the changes people are having to make for Obamacare.
You aren't assisting them in sin by not marrying them, they're either already committing that sin (fornication) or they're not. either way you're not really culpable.

Once again, it's all a big f*cking con. As if we couldn't tell already. Check this out. Deeply held beliefs my ass. The ADL and Heritage Foundation are LYING and MANIPULATING not just the public at large but even carelessly toying with the lives of the people they allegedly represent.
You got to check this out:
Caught ya: Far-right's latest marriage 'victim' edited website to make more solid legal case
But don't try and sell me the, "well it's just regular updating of the website." Just look at the timing of when they changed it and how
