This is one of the most egregious cases of those pushing the homosexual agenda persecuting a business owner who for religious reasons declines to respond to a request for their services. Elane appealed the decision and fine to a New Mexico court which ruled against her. It is now being appealed to the NM Supreme Court (controlled by libs) so she may ultimately lose there too.

Well worth a read and Will's summary of how advocates of tolerance become tyrannical is right on the mark.

My question is: WTF are these “Human Rights Councils” and why do they have power over anyone?

Shoulda' had one one of those signs posted about reserving the right to refuse service to anyone for any or no reason.

Yeah, that would have worked.

In a situation like that you send your least experienced,least talented photographer to do a terrible job.For normal weddings you do your best.Soon word will get out within the pervert community that you're no good...and the normal community will see you as good.

Christians need to get smart about being baited by the grievance mongers. A simple, “sorry, we’re booked for that day” will suffice.

The whole problem is with the civil rights act of 1964 and the federal courts twisting of the 14th amendment to force both States AND private businesses from discriminating against people for whatever reason. This totally ignores the first amendments freedom of association and so we have what is now a government forced association, no matter what your beliefs.

The problem is that once you give the government the power to force you to do business with one group of people it gives them the power to force you to do business with anyone they think should be “protected” from discrimination. Sucks but people thought it was all great when it was just blacks that were the people being discriminated against but once you let the camels nose into the tent the rest is sure to follow.

I hope they have some high powered attorneys for their appeal, and that they take it all the way to the Supremes. This is extortion, pure and simple!

I would also say that the best way to deal with this is to take the job and use it as an opportunity to “share the gospel” in as many ways as you can think of, like a T-shirt proclaiming homosexuality a sin and urging the attendees to repent or they will go to hell. They can’t fine you for your God given freedom of speech, at least we are not like Canada yet.

Congratulations queers. My indifference to you has now become unabashed hatred, disgust, and open opposition.

if forced to take the job, i'd cut all the tops of their heads off in every picture...
