OUTRAGEOUS! Gay Couple Sues to FORCE Christian Photographer to Take Pictures of Same Sex Wedding

Eugene Volokh has been doing extensive blogging on the Volokh Conspiracy Blog about Elane Photography v. Willock

That is where I heard about this case of a Photographer being forced by the government to take pictures of an private event that violates the photographer's beliefs.

This case is about a photographer in New Mexico who did not want to take pictures of a gay marriage wedding because it violated their beliefs. This gay couple could have went anywhere else but they decide to go to court to force this photographer to take their money and take pictures for them at the gay marriage. The photographer contended that they cannot be forced to engage in speech that they do not believe in by taking pictures that will be used to promote gay marriage. The court ruled that the constitution did not apply to the photographer and told the photographer that they must take the pictures.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? This is what I have been talking about for a while now. The gay agenda and liberal agenda do not just want tolerance. They want acceptance. They want you to be force to engage in their actions. They want you to be force to engage in their speech and not be allowed to have beliefs or speech of your own.

This case has been appealed to the New Mexico Supreme Court where hopefully the judges there will have some sense.

What is next? Force a Jewish writer to work a job writing a blog for an anti-Semite website praising Hitler? Force a black American caterer to serve punch at a Ku Klux Klan Rally? That might as well happen because that is exactly what is happening here. SERIOUSLY, how can the government try to force this photographer to participate in a private gay wedding when the photographer does not believe in gay weddings and does not want to take pictures at one? This gay couple has NO right under the constitution to have pictures taken by this individual of their gay wedding. This photographer DOES have the right to believe gay marriage is wrong and not have to be forced to participate in a private gay wedding that violates their religious beliefs.

I have written about a ton of crazy things recently BUT THIS SITUATION IS NUTS! There is a clear War Against Christianity raging in America. Soon enough we will be put in prison for even simply believing and speaking about Christianity because it will be labeled hate speech.

I thought it was bad enough that the atheists and liberals in America want to do things like remove a cross from the 9/11 memorial. The cross at the 9/11 memorial does not force anyone to engage in an activity that they do not believe in. All it is anyways is a support beam that was left standing after the towers fell that looks like a cross. They want to finish what the terrorists started and tear the rest of the twin towers down by removing this section that was left standing after the terrorists crashed their planes. How does this cross looking support beam at a museum that no one is forced to go to violate an atheists rights? Does this cross force the atheist to be a Christian? These atheists have no right to try to get a court to remove it.

Hypothetically, it would be wrong if Christians did something like forcing an atheist actor to render his acting services because someone wants him to be a hired actor in a Sunday school Jesus play. BUT THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN AND WOULD NEVER HAPPEN. Christians want to just be allowed to practice our religion publicly and not have atheists take away that right or to re-write history simply because the atheists do not like the Christian foundation of America. Atheists and liberals do and have been doing these kinds of unconstitutional things for some time now. It is ok if they do not want to spend money at Chick Fil A. That is their choice. I do not spend money at Home Depot because I do not like what they publicly promote. I would not try to ban home depot from building in my city though just because I do not agree with the religious beliefs of the owners. If I did I would probably be put in jail by Obama and Eric Holder's Racist Godless Department of Justice. The liberals and gays on the other hand have no problem "coming out" and trying to ban Chick Fil A from building in their cities because of the Christian beliefs of the owners. Somehow it is ok for them to be intolerant bigots and do things to Christians like that, but if the tables were turned they would be crying foul.

THEY ARE CRY BABY COWARDS

We must stand up America. We must fight back against these unconstitutional attacks on out freedom of speech, expression and religion. If we don't then pretty soon we won't have those rights anymore.

I can only imagine what the pictures would be like if the photographer was forced by the court to provide the service.

[al_c]

Fine ... take the pictures. And do a crappy job. Then charge them top dollar for them.

[manc]

this crap is every frigging day now. and still we don;’t hear most on talk radio like Hannity or the GOP say anything.

People are being sued, attacked, assaulted, intimidated, boycotted etc and for what?
Because homosexuals want us to think of their unhealthy sex as normal or natural.

This is going to go on and on until our side stops being cowards and speak up

Wefight back with our own use of certain words used very very often.
First word? Christophobic. The fear and hatred of Christians.
Society needs to fear being called Christophobic.

Christophobia is bigotry.

[manc]

agreed, I rememer a couple of years ago someone of here put a link up to one of their sites and it stated homosexuals need to move to certain areas and they named the small towns.
They wanted them to move and get to know folks, have folks think of them as normal and once they got the trust the homosexuals would come out and inform their new pals that they;’re queer.
Basically go to churches, schools etc and gain peoples trust so much so that their new pals woudl say they have no problem with the homo agenda .
Even on here I;ve seen some say they have no problem because they know a homosexual and theyre nice, what they do not see is their new homosexual pal at the queer parades, events etc

Then they would infiltrate other towns and get into positions of power and take the town over by either laws or lawsuits.

This is happening all around the country every day now, even some are faking attacks for their agenda and still we can;t get our side to speak up.

Civil Rights laws are an affront to freedom of association as well as freedom itself. Tyranny of the minority is equal to the madness of tyranny of the majority.

The individual should be free to, not coerced, into doing the right “thing”.

There's a reason for that. Hannity and Limbaugh have sold any principles they may have had on this issue for big paychecks. If they start criticizing the pillow-biters, they'll get the Dr. Laura treatment.

So in short, they're cowards.

[TigersEye]

Ever hear of 0bamaCare? If the FedMob can force you to buy health insurance it can force you to do anything.

[drbuzzard]

And I’ll state the unpopular opinion that such laws were a bad idea even then.

Freedom of association either means something or it doesn’t. The Civil Rights Act was not a constitutional amendment and as such should not override the protections granted by the first amendment. I should be able to associate (which includes doing business) with anyone that I want to. I should also be able to not associate as well.

Civil right laws that prohibit discrimination by the government are good. Those that trample freedom of association by private individuals are just plain bad.

[cuban leaf]

Sorry. Right over my head...

[CityCenter]

EGADS! This is poorly written.

[manc]

agreed

Point taken.

You should be ashamed to post such an ill-written article anywhere. Get an editor. You need one badly.

“There’s a reason for that. Hannity and Limbaugh have sold any principles they may have had on this issue for big paychecks. If they start criticizing the pillow-biters, they’ll get the Dr. Laura treatment.

Yes, they are cowards. And traitors.

>>>take lousy pictures then FORCE them to pay for it>>>

My thought exactly.
