Sounds like the couple are guilty of being properly sexually-oriented.

The photographer will probably loose, just as a business cannot deny service to blacks.

some enterprising folks need to find a muslim photog studio and hire them to shoot some homosexual wedding or Christian baptism or something- then file discrimination when they refuse

Sooooo they can be discriminated against because of their religion in order to keep from discriminating against someone’s taste in genital preference?

This seemingly frivolous lawsuit is deadly serious. It is intended to use the coercive power of Courts to punish those who do not follow the mainstream as prescribed by the Illuminati.

Even if the plaintiff loses, this case will still confront people with the choice of making a living by going along to get along or spending time and expense defending their own values.

There is a cultural war going on in all fronts and the family is a major target.

Wondering how the commission and the judge would view Tiger Woods’ sleeping habits... :-)

Elaine Huguenin declined because her and her husband's Christian beliefs are in conflict with the message communicated by the ceremony.

They should have simply said, "We're sorry. We have no openings available at this time. Thank you for thinking of using our service."

No lawsuit possible with respect to that response.

I think the courts would be making a mistake in asserting equivalence of race and behavior.

The photographer objected to providing service based on the the client’s behavior, not the client’s race.

Let’s follow this out to it’s logical conclusion. If I go to a bar looking to get laid, ignore a gay’s advances but get lucky and take a women home, the scorned gay can then sue me for rejecting him but accepting someone of a different gender? It’s coming, folks.

They do not want tolerance they want forced acceptance from the heavy hand of the state.

Wow.

Only in bizzaro world.
You can't equate the two, although that is the Left’s tactic. They wish to equate the civil rights movement with the promotion of a mental disorder.

greyfoxx39 no longer maintains the Ping list and I have not decided to do so, hoping that a person with more time will take charge of it.

the homosexuals are tyirng to scare forced association.

What happens if a day care center (private) does not want to endorse “heather has to momies” BS?

If this spreads then homosexuals may be forced to admit their BEHIVIOR is seen negativly.
