Apparently that doesn’t apply if the offended party is a protected class.

So business owners no longer have a choice of what work they take? Could a general contractor be sued because he turned down a job to build a cathouse? Could a videophotographer be sued because she turned down a request to tape a porn flick?

Rights of Blacks trump all, followed by Homosexuals, then illegal immigrants, then Muslims. Christians have no rights.

He is guilty of what Orwell called “thoughtcrime.” That’s the state of things today.

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

These people simply need to make a sign for their place of business, and a small addition to their business cards, and perhaps on their vehicle that states the following:

"We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, at any time, for any reason."

While in Montana I had a similar experience with a woman who wanted our shop to print up a bunch of posters she wanted made of her art, which were inappropriate. She threatened me in this way and I simply pointed to the sign, prominantly displayed in the store and said that the sign applied to her as of that minute.

Never heard more about it. This was maybe 13-14 years ago.

NM Ping.

Whatever happened to a private business, especially one that does not deal in the necessities being able to say “we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone”?

***A same-sex couple asked Elaine Huguenin, co-owner with her husband of Elane Photography, to photograph a “commitment ceremony” that the two women wanted to hold.***

What ever happened to the businessman’s prerogative of...”WE reserve the RIGHT to refuse service to anyone!”

Anyone heard of the First Amendment in New Mexico?

Maybe it’s not part of the US.
