Woman threatens to sue Mississippi museum for discriminating against gender-segregated couple


Because discriminating against gender-integration is better?

 A lesbian who sued her school district in 2010 after she was left out of the high school yearbook for wearing a tuxedo is demanding the Mississippi Agriculture and Forestry Museum permit a commitment ceremony for her and her partner. 
The Southern Poverty Law Center sent a letter to the museum on Thursday on behalf of Ceara Sturgis, 20, and threatened to sue if the facility doesn't allow Sturgis and her partner, 19-year-old Emily Key, to hold the ceremony there on Aug. 11. 
The state-owned museum refused to allow a similar ceremony for two men earlier this year. 
The museum has said it interprets commitment ceremonies to represent a union and cites a 2009 opinion by Attorney General Jim Hood saying it could decline such ceremonies because same-sex marriage is banned in Mississippi.
This is one of the problems with the push for civil unions and same-sex marriage.  The movement advocates gender-segregation in marriage and encourages lawsuits against businesses and organizations that support gender-integration.  Same-sex marriage is ultimately anti-gender.


Support pro-gender marriage.
