New Mexico's Human Rights Commission fined a husband-wife photography team more than $6,000 because they declined to photograph a same-sex commitment ceremony

Huh?

In one of my other lives I'm a photographer. Unless these people are the only photographers for 100 miles I don't see how this could happen. Far as I know I can chose to accept or decline any job as I see fit.

Not in New Mexico.

I think the lesbians had other choices, but wanted to make a point, and got a judge to go along. Even if the photographers had been the only ones around, I don’t see how the government would be entitled to order them to accept an order...but I’m not a lawyer.
