The district judge, Malott, found the studio to be a “public accommodation” and therefore discrimination based on sex or sexual orientation, or gender identity is prohibited. The NM Court of Appeals agreed with him.

I wonder if the company asked up front what type of marriage it was, then rejected it, would it still be an issue?

A private business should be able to refuse any potential customer.

No one is right here. But of course, the studio has the “right” to turn down a paying customer, which I think is foolish, but it should be their right.

The “public accommodation” argument is terrible. The couple is wrong. Everyone is wrong.

their mistake was TELLING them why they refused to take the Job, next time have the people fill out an application for services where all the names of the parties are listed as well as the event. All applications will be reviewed and a decision will be made within 48 hours as to whether or not we will be able to do the Job., Problem Solved

Why would anyone want a photographer who is being FORCED to take your wedding pictures?

Would the same judge force a Muslim to photograph a Jewish wedding?

Make it so your standard sales contract has a limitation of damages clause that limits any damages to the purchase price. Then “accidently” leave the lens cap on the camera for your gay weddings. Refund the money after the wedding for your “mistake”. Soon they’ll get the message.

Personal freedom and freedom of religion is a Constitutional right, and trumps ANY so-called “Anti discrimination” legislation

This is BS. God bless the owners for fighting this outrage.

This is like the thread from yesterday where the lady refused to rent to a soldier.

I just don’t understand why the couple just didn’t find another photographer. This makes no sense to me.
