, is there anything that would keep them of doing such a piss-poor job that it would essentially be the same as not doing it at all?

No. Don't do a poor job. Do an excellent job, as portrayed by the guests shoes.

Exactly. Don’t have to worry about any repeat business or them giving a good referral to all their “friends”, either.

Oh, I'm sure that a lot of shoes would show up in the photos. The sad part is, those would likely be the only ones that "turned out", as it were.

Funny how things happen like that.

That went away with people of “protected minorities”.

Might have been easier and cheaper if the photography outfit had just said they had a prior commitment on that date.

Or just do a really crappy job of it.

Ve have vays to make you accept what ve say you vill.

If you note the wording in some of the articles, we that oppose the gay agenda have “strong opinions,” not faith based beliefs.

Wow. Apparently not only do homosexuals rights include themselves doing things, but those rights now include the forced servitude of others.

Orwell said it best: Some animals are more equal than others.

Private business rights went out the window with state mandated smoking bans on private businesses.

You’d think so, but too mant libscum have moved to NM from CA and have succeeded in turning NM into the same type of cesspool they left. As a result, “more equal” people have “rights” to force their beliefs on others.

It's the classic case of "first they came for the smokers, but I did not say anything because I wasn't a smoker...then, by the time they came for me, it was too late...there was nobody left to speak up for me". The name "Nanny State" doesn't sound too scary, but it is a fearsome and dreadful thing.

Christian Post article: Christian Business OK to Refuse Gay Video Copying

and see how a video duplication service in Arlington County, Virginia was able to beat this kind of rap.

Yep, yours is the better idea. Subversion.

I would rather be cash flow poor, as I am, than deal with this kind of stuff.

I was just thinking they should have posted in their window, “We refuse the right to refuse service.”

What a sham.

Nobody can make you take a good picture if you don't want to.

Fine, but that kind of response won't be applicable to the thousands of other kind of businesses that will have to deal with similar offensive "human rights" demands.

“Might have been easier and cheaper if the photography outfit had just said they had a prior commitment on that date.”

Sensible, but not really the point. You shouldn’t have to lie to preserve your freedom not to be coerced into servitude, act AGAINST your religion, etc. This should be obvious and taught in civics classes.

I bemoan the day that we chose lying over stating the obvious, that we fear the state rather, than knowing that the state is there to preserve the Constitution.

To all of you who choose lying — someday everyone will make the same choice as you, and on that day you will wake up in East Germany. Fighting for freedom won’t be an option.
