So if you are a Christian and are unwilling to compromise your beliefs, you may as well crawl in a hole and die.

Rev 13:16-17 And he shall make all, both little and great, rich and poor, freemen and bondmen, to have a character in their right hand, or on their foreheads. And that no man might buy or sell, but he that hath the character, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

The principle was established in the 60’s when courts ordered restaurant owners to serve blacks.

But if it was a muslim photographer hired to photograph a pork BBQ party ......

[SkyDancer]

PS - so why didn’t that couple just go to another photographer? They were just instigating is all.

Simply put, gay religion wins out over Christian religion.

America 2013.

[Flycatcher]

So the New Mexico Human Rights Act trumps the US Constitution?

[Gay State Conservative]

Simple solution...in future,when called upon to photograph such a perverse,pagan,ritual just do such a bad job that the perverts will wish they had gone elsewhere.And if the perverts complain,offer them a full refund.

[VideoDoctor]

This is FORCED accordance.

They are saying "screw your religious beliefs."

Obey or PAY!

This law also violates the 1st Amendment in regards to Freedom of Association which the SCOTUS has already ruled is precluded by the freedom NOT to associate. It’s “Settled Law”.

[yldstrk]

are you folking kidding me

what about the signs that say we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone?

OK fine, charge them 10K for their stupid sinful pics

[ryan71]

In the US today, ever other religion wins out over Christianity. Every one.

Islam, gay, enviro, bestiality, pedophilia, all of them.

“that’s nice, dear” would be my response to the fedgov... and continue not providing service to whomever i wish

if i’m forced to provide my services without question... how am i any better then a cog?

most business owners run a business because they want to run things their way and not at the whims of those far less qualified to perform the job

I wonder if this applies to lawyers also. If you have something you want to sue someone for, and you pick a lawyer out of the phone book and discuss your beef with him, is he allowed to say no, he won’t take your case?

[OneWingedShark]

If I was there I would ask how this ruling can possibly coexist with the State Constitution's Art II, Sec 11.

Art. II, Sec. 11. [Freedom of religion.]
Every man shall be free to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience, and no person shall ever be molested or denied any civil or political right or privilege on account of his religious opinion or mode of religious worship. No person shall be required to attend any place of worship or support any religious sect or denomination; nor shall any preference be given by law to any religious denomination or mode of worship.

Could they become a private photograhy company - members only?

[Cheerio]

I would either shut my business and retire, go into another line of work, or move my photography business across the line to ARIZONA. I would not give into the gay mafia.

[MeshugeMikey]

im certain that the complainants have no idea how POOR the results of any photo shoot where the photographer doesnt necessarilty WANT to be working would be...

[rawhide]

I was thinking that if this case goes to the USSC, then this ruling will be overturned. But then I remembered John Roberts.

[knarf]

Worse ... they invented a condition, legalized it and subjected normal people to an abnormal rule making good and innocent people criminals.

All in what?

10 years?

Every person, entity and agency that fascillitated this abomination is well ensconced and procreating.

America is done, folks

[onedoug]

I’d appeal all the way to the Supreme Court.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Easy solution, take really crappy pictures and then sue when they refuse to pay.
