Pastor: Rescind Anti-Bias Ordinance

At the Coeur d’Alene Press Online site, Pastor Paul Van Noy of Candlelight offers this open letter to Mayor Steve Widmyer:

The recent activities, information, and misinformation surrounding The Hitching Post have inspired tension here in our beautiful city – and across the country. Activity like this was anticipated when I made it clear to the city council in May-June of 2013 that unfortunate repercussions would result from passing the unbalanced anti-discrimination ordinance 13-1011. The reason this recent activity has emerged here in our community relates to the statewide/nationwide effort to redefine marriage between one man and one woman. This present distress could have been avoided if we as a nation/state would leave this 6000-year-old institution alone. Furthermore, the state should not be in the business of marriage. It is a long held religious institution. More here.

Question: Should the city of Coeur d’Alene rescind its anti-discrimination ordinance?
