The owners of Timber Creek Bed & Breakfast in Paxton, Illinois,
have been fined over $81,000 for declining to host a homosexual civil
union ceremony in 2011.
The Illinois Human Rights Commission has declined to review an
administrative judge’s ruling that the owners must pay $30,000 for
emotional damage and over $51,000 in attorneys’ fee.
The owners, Jim and
Beth Walder, plan to continue their appeals.
