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.
She needs to appeal to the US Supreme Court.
They are focused on their law, and she is focused on her Constitutional right to free exercise.
Free exercise does not end with Free Worship.
A person’s religion is being exercised every minute of every day.
One step closer to them demanding that they have a RIGHT to have s3x with your child. Wow that sounds like the demands of those from a city that once existed—Sodom and Gomorrah.
Photographing such an event would make me throw up.
In some establishments I can be refused service for not wearing shoes.
I’d either shut down my business, or I’d go photograph the wedding by taking blurry pictures of their feet and nothing else.
Sadly, the Christian community is being hoisted on the petard that many of them celebrated. Those that helped eliminate private property rights and the right of free association via smoking bans on private property, they laid a foundation that will be used against them by the homosexual community.
First they came for the smokers and many celebrated. Now these folks are reaping their just rewards. A few FReepers celebrate daily....
Privately owned businesses are no longer free to cater to whomever they decide is their target market, nor are they free to decline business to those that carry political favor.
Photography, like cakemaking, is a service industry. The state can compel service but not good service.
I wouldn’t trust my photographs to someone compelled to take them and I damned sure wouldn’t trust food to compelled service.
These cases are about making a political point for sure. That said, it’s a hollow victory unless the winner is plain stupid on top of their other problems.
I would tell them that of course I have to serve them, but if I were to vomit at their ceremony, that could cause a problem for them. Of course it is their choice. :)
“I have no idea as to why your eyes are so read or where those horns on top of your head came from. I might suggest that you hire another photographer the next time you two boys get married”.

Obviously they should not be required to participate in this perversion, but here’s one route they could take, given their limited choices.
They need to advertise that they are selling pictures of the photographer’s view. He/she will photograph the event, and provide pictures that express the photographer’s perspective. All payments must be made in advance. No refunds. If they are forced by an out of control government to photograph events they are opposed to, they should put a watermark stating so across every photo. The photos should be of things like flowers, trees, inanimate non controversial subjects. No pictures of the brides, grooms or livestock. Under no circumstances should the event be referred to as a wedding. It’s a homosexual (not gay) demonstration, and should only be referred to as such. None of the photographs should contain subject matter deemed to be blasphemous mockery of holy matrimony. So no pictures of a “wedding” cake, champagne glasses set out like they do in real wedding photos, etc. If they do decide to photograph people, faces should be blocked out or blurred, to protect the innocent.
That’s how you photograph a homosexual demonstration.
“Sorry... I have a previous engagement”. “Can you postpone the date... say a few weeks?” “Something has come up that day... I won’t be able to do it...sorry....”.

NM “Supreme” Court is an all-leftist Democrat creature.
The NM photographers ought to give the lesbian couple Russian vodka and the Russian flag.
