Mississippi Venue Won’t Do Gay Or Mixed Race Weddings

An employee of an event venue in Mississippi allegedly said in a video that the venue will not be hosting gay or mixed-race wedding because of their Christian faith.

The video was uploaded on Facebook my LaKambria Welch and has gone viral.

“FYI, if you’re a mixed-race couple, please do NOT inquire Boones Camp for a wedding venue. They will not accommodate you if you’re ‘gay’ or ‘mixed race’ due to their ‘Christian beliefs,’” Welch wrote in a post with the video of her speaking with the woman.

Welch has claimed that the event space refused her brother, who is black, to marry his fiancé, who is a white woman, because of these “beliefs”.

“The owner took a look at my brother’s fiancée’s page and wrote her back to say they won’t be able to get married there because of her beliefs,” Welch revealed to the Deep South Voice website. “He told my mom and she contacted the owner through messenger to only get a ‘seen’ with no reply. That’s when I took it upon myself to go get clarification on her beliefs.”
