ART IMITATES LIFE ‘The Good Wife’ Defends Gay Marriage Against ‘Religious Freedom’

Dahl, you've been a wedding planner for 12 years, is that correct? - Yes.
- And in all that time, you have never been approached about doing a gay wedding before? Never.
Of course, there's a homosexual community in Pocatello, and my very favorite florist is gay.
But you are aware that gay marriage has been legal in Idaho - since October of 2014.
- I'm aware it's legal, yes.
Abortion is legal too.
It doesn't mean I have to agree with it.
But you have to follow the law.
I'm not stopping anyone from getting married.
I just don't wanna be the one to plan their wedding.
That's all.
I'm helping two people seal their commitment to one another before the world and before God.
I can't do that if I don't believe in it.
Ms.
Dahl, how many times did Jesus condemn homosexuality? Objection.
Relevance.
She's claiming religion is the basis of her refusal, counselor.
I fail to see how the specifics of that religion could not be relevant.
Um, Jesus never condemned homosexuality.
And how many times did Jesus condemn divorce? Three times.
Four times.
If you count Matthew and Mark's account of the same incident.
Thank you.
So you've never planned a wedding for a couple that had previously been married? Um I haven't asked.
I guess I have.
Well, in fact, you have planned two weddings in the last year alone where one or both of the couple had previously been married.
That sounds right.
So your religious objection - is selective at best? - Objection.
Argumentative.
- Sustained.
- No more questions.Dahl, you've been a wedding planner for 12 years, is that correct? - Yes.
