Then they gave her a contract to sign. On its last page, just before the signature line, was a provision she says shocked her.
The owners of Swann Lake Stables, a wedding and event venue in Birmingham, Alabama, doesn’t perform same-sex weddings on their property, according to the contract. Valdez, who’s in a heterosexual relationship, says she won’t get married at a venue that discriminates against others.

She's in a straight relationship, loves the venue, but won't get married there because of the owner's position on same sex marriage. After all, we are talking Alabama, right?
Okay Karen, fine. Don't get married there. I doubt losing your business is going to make or break the owners. There was no need to contact the paper unless you just wanted some attention.
I know it's going to be a shock to her when she finally discovers that nothing in this world, and I do mean nothing, lines up 100% with her beliefs.
Myself, I figured that out when I was maybe 7 or 8 years old.
