A federal judge on Monday issued a 60-day stay in a wedding chapel’s civil rights lawsuit against the city of Coeur d’Alene concerning same-sex marriage and a discrimination law.  Attorneys for Donald and Everlynn Knapp, owners of Hitching Post Weddings LLC, and for the city both had asked for the break in the case in order to discuss a potential settlement. U.S. Magistrate Judge Ronald E. Bush granted the stay, which gives the city until Jan. 9 to respond to the suit if a settlement is not reached by then. The Oct. 17 suit claims the city is unconstitutionally forcing the Knapps to violate their religious beliefs by performing same-sex marriages/SR. (SR file photo, of Hitching Post owner Don Knapp)
