What are your thoughts on this response by The Pagan Federation of Ireland to a homophobic and racist couple?

The Pagan Federation of Ireland offers Pagan hand-fasting ceremonies via a register of celebrants living throughout Ireland.
So anyway they received a message from an American couple describing themselves as Odinists:
“We are Odinists and would like an Odinist or similar minded clergy to marry us. We would prefer to find someone who only performs heterosexual ceremonies and refrains from marrying those of mixed races…”
Firstly I was not aware that there were many pagans with homophobic or racist attitudes. But I’m assuming this is an isolated case. Anyway I just have to love the response they received:
“We are most happy to report that none of our clergy subscribe to your views on mixed race or gay marriage, and so we cannot assist you in your upcoming visit to Ireland.”
“Fuck off.”
“Yours very sincerely, everyone at Pagan Federation Ireland.”
