A couple in Nashville, Tennessee, say they were rejected by a wedding venue after the owner realized they were gay. Mike Gill and Coty Heaton had inquired about getting married at Barn in the Bend, an event venue in Madison, Tennessee, and received an email from owner Jackie Daniel, who told the couple "we appreciate your interest in our venue" and that she'd "be glad to set up a tour." In that first email, Gill noticed that the email signature read: "We offer same-sex marriage ceremonies only." But an hour later, Daniel sent Gill another email to check the gender of his future spouse.
