There is a price, it seems, and guess who is going to be made to pay it?

[Obadiah]

Fine. Take me to jail. You really won’t get your pictures then. The homosexual mafia is always seeking to extort others.

[George from New England]

I moved out of CT seven years ago just because of this.

[austinaero]

and the regressive communist libs will cheer that they put another “straight” company out of business. It will be considered a victory to them....which was probably the ultimate goal in the first place.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Freedom of religion = dead.

[ConservativeDude]

This is not really a First Amendment case, but, a Thirteenth Amendment case.....

[skeeter]

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

This court is invalidating the 1st Amendment.

Definitely time for civil disobedience, at the very least.

[bboop]

Yes, the Constitution actually DOES cover their Freedom of Religion. The Courts are run amok, and it’s high time we challenged every and all of these Evil decisions.

[MeshugeMikey]

Our "president will be MOST pleased you can be certain.

[Domandred]

this case teaches that at some point in our lives all of us must compromise, if only a little

So Christians have to compromise by violating their faith, but gays don't have to compromise by going to another business?

F You. I'm tired of compromising because it's us that gets the short end of the stick, not them. Not just gays, all the liberal socialist commie marxists of every flavor.

I'm done with them all.

I will not comply.

[bboop]

So, didn’t there used to be signs that said, “We reserve the right to refuse to serve ...” followed by whatever it was. Hippies, I believe, or if folks were barefoot.

[glorgau]

Just go in there and take pictures of the ceiling and sky.

[GeronL]

freedom of thought and freedom of association are such old fashion notions I guess

[discostu]

Their mistake was saying why. In contract oriented work like wedding photography if you don’t want to take that gig (for whatever reason) you say you can’t, you don’t say you won’t and you ESPECIALLY don’t say why you won’t. Once you say why you’ve established that you are discriminating, then the only question is do the courts consider them a protected class.

[Mr Rogers]

“A multicultural, pluralistic society, one of our nation’s strengths...”

No, that is arguably America’s great weakness.

I suggest the photographers photograph the wedding while wearing T-shirts that say, “Homosexuality is sin”.

After all, in a multicultural, pluralistic society, all of us must compromise, if only a little, to accommodate the contrasting values of others...

Does anyone think that maybe, just maybe, the homosexuals should have compromised in THEIR choice of photographers?

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

What ever happened to this sign that was in most stores 50 years ago?

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE TO ANYONE!

[greene66]

I’d go to jail first. Or rather, they could “try” to put me in jail.

The government is losing its last shreds of legitimacy.

[Norm Lenhart]

Find a woman willing to fight in court, get her a companion animal pig legitimately and bring her to a muslim restaurant.

Then go to the SC with it.

This is the only way to stop the religious war on Christianity by the courts.

Two words. Equal protection.

[forgotten man]

The photographers should show up at the wedding wearing Bible verses on their clothing.

[SpaceBar]

The conservative right is going about this all wrong. Using first amendment “freedom of speech” is too amorphous of a legal argument given how many “special cases” of its curtailment have been enshrined into case law... think fire/crowded theater. A more effective legal strategy involves contract law. A business owner enters into a contract when services are performed and “consideration” flows both ways of both party's free wills. The left is in effect forcing one party to enter into a contract against their will, which strictly speaking, makes the contract illegal and unenforceable, ask any contract lawyer. That legal maxim predates the existence of the United States btw and lies at the very bedrock of English common and US contract law.

[onedoug]

Appeal.
