It won’t be enough. The homos will find another event that they will claim they were discriminated against and do whatever they can to destroy them.

I would have just said, “Sorry, that date is booked.”

It will require some sacrifice and perhaps some creative thinking / action but ..

Just Say No

Is not a bad tactic.

God bless and prosper Nang and Chris Mai, In Jesus' name and for His sake ... Amen.

this company denied me and my fiance, a same-sex couple, from their services," Kelsall's Facebook post states. "Stand up and say something about it."

Sure. How about SHUT UP AND GO AWAY, PERVERT!

(p.s. I'm standing)

What if they have a tape of what you just said and sued you in the state of California for refusing to service them?

They catch onto that, usually one person tries to book and they don’t immediately point out that it’s a same sex wedding, but once they find out there is availability for a certain date, it’s “Game Over.”

Many years ago when I was a kid we would defiantly say that it’s a free country. Now when I hear somebody say that it’s a free country I think how delusional. Free now has a whole other meaning.

No no no!

Do the deal. Take the gig. Take the pics. Agree to do the job!

Now about the pics. Oops, the camera lens had some junk on it. The “groom” is not in any of the pics. Sorry, most of the pics are of the sky. Darn, my hand was shaking. Etc...

One more thing. Get the money up front and have them agree that they have no say-so over the quality of the pics. And, thee is NO refund.

So you're saying to expend all that effort and expense, and in the end have to give a full refund to the customer?

I still maintain telling those queers that one-half of the proceeds from their photo job will go to the Family Research Council. Tell them that donation will be in THEIR name.

A little photo-editing play with the pics might be fun, too. Little subtle stuff they won’t immediately notice.

Or the selection. "You'll just have to 'trust us.'"

“Under California law: “all persons are entitled to full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities, privileges, or services in all business establishments, including both private and public entities.” “

This law needs to be repealed, it clearly runs afoul of the right to free association.

Have the photographer show up dressed as Hitler. Full NAZI uniform, swastika, etc. Or maybe make sure the photographer is a a large dude dressed up as honey boo-boo except they have a strap on with a large phallic thingy hanging out. Put whatever is necessary in the contract to allow for this.

The bottom line is to not say no but put in to the agreement things that allows the photographer a lot of latitude. And, every so often dummy up a straight wedding where the exact same thing occurs.

I still don't understand how photographers, bakers and other private businesses can be forced to participate in events against their will. Can a photographer be compelled to photograph a satanic ceremony? Could a Muslim business be forced to sell a Jewish wedding cake? This is madness.

It just seems like there was so much pent-up EVIL just waiting for Obama to come along to let it loose.
