With the 2016 passage of House Bill 1523, Mississippi businesses are allowed to deny services based on their religious views.
Mississippi Clarion LedgerJACKSON, Miss. – An interracial Mississippi couple was turned away from a wedding venue with the owner citing her refusal based on her"Christian beliefs." The owner of the venue has since apologized, saying she was raised to believe interracial marriage was an"understood subject."
The bill also prevents government intervention when churches or businesses act"based upon or in a manner consistent with a sincerely held religious belief or moral conviction." The bill was primarily directed at sexual orientation and same-sex marriage. Race was not a part of the legislation. In the video, Welch begins to ask the woman,"Well, we're Christians as well so, what in the Bible tells you that," but the woman interrupts her, saying,"Well I just don't want to argue my faith.Welch could not be reached for comment Tuesday, and the video is no longer publicly available on her Facebook page. Calls to Boone's Camp Event Hall went unanswered.
