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.

Wait a minute. How can anyone force this guy to do anything? It’s his business. He’s the one that chooses.

“could have went”?

This is a really, really, really old story. Not that it’s any less outrageous.

The solution is to sub the wedding to the first gay photographer you can find.

Wow...compared to wife’s choice of photographer, that’s a bargain!

No, that was a feature of America V1.0. It is not included in America 2.0.

The simple answer is that photography is a speciality. If you asked a nature photographer to photograph a wedding, he’d say, “That’s not my thing.” Asking a photographer that specialized in straight weddings to photograph a gay wedding is out of his expertise.

lol ... I was making it up ... I literally have no idea what a photographer costs lol.
