Date Night in the Garden of Eden - Creation Museum denies admission to perceived same sex couple

[BridgeTheGap]

Two by two, couples filed into Petersburg, Ky.’s Creation Museum for “Date Night,” a Feb. 11 event billed as “a special evening (featuring) an inspiring message about love and the biblical view of marriage from Creation Museum founder Ken Ham,” according to the museum’s website.

What better place to spend a romantic Valentine’s weekend evening than the Creation Museum, a 70,000-square-foot “museum” that employs state-of-the-art video and animatronic technology in an effort to discredit the fields of evolutionary biology, geology, history and liberal social values while at the same time tweaking science to fit with a young Earth interpretation of the Book of Genesis?

Yet what was supposed to be a delicious buffet meal accompanied by the musical stylings of master guitarist Ray Cummins quickly turned into a lesson in intolerance when two members of our party were denied access to the museum under suspicion of being a homosexual couple, without granting us a refund.

Three of us (my girlfriend, Shanna, myself and our friend Brandon) arrived at 6 p.m. as Ham was just beginning his talk in the museum’s “special effects” room. After leaving our jackets at the coat check, we advanced to a security checkpoint where a pair of armed guards waited.

1. Ridiculous place to begin with ... n/t

[joeybee12]

2. Unless this is a private club or church, they're a business, and cannot

deny admission.

4. Because they are a private business they can deny admission to any one for any reason they

choose, except for those reasons protected by law. As the article states, KY has no law banning discrimination for sexual orientation.

5. They actually bought several hundred dollars worth of event tickets from the "Creation Museum"?

Why help fund wackos? I wouldn't give that crowd a penny?

6. Gay creationists are about as ridiculous as Log Cabin Republicans.
