SAHRC has filed an application against Stanford wedding venue Beloftebos and its owners for allegedly discriminating against same-sex couples. CapeTimesSA

Cape Town – The SA Human Rights Commission has filed an application against Stanford wedding venue Beloftebos and its owners for allegedly discriminating against same-sex couples.

Beloftebos first made headlines in 2017 when it allegedly refused to host Alexandra Thorne and Alex Lu, telling them this was because they “only host heterosexual marriages”.Sasha-Lee Heekes and fiancée Megan Watling wanted to celebrate their marriage at Beloftebos in April next year, but the owners allegedly refused, saying Christianity did not allow same sex marriage.

“There is a clear need for us to intervene. This case is so that no other businesses, not just wedding venues, will apply unfair, discriminatory practices,” Gaum said.
