(The Christian Post) An evangelical Christian officiant in Ohio will not be forced to perform same-sex wedding ceremonies, per an agreement with county officials approved by a district court.
Kristi Stokes, owner of Covenant Weddings, sued Cuyahoga County earlier this year over a law that barred places of public accommodation from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.
In a proposed judgment entry filed last Friday, both parties agreed that the law would not apply to Stokes and her company, as they would not be identified as a place of public accommodation.
