“... the state is requiring Carpenter to violate her beliefs about traditional marriage by forcing her to publicize photos of same-sex weddings on her website.

“‘The laws require her to create photograph collections on her website celebrating same-sex weddings because she celebrates opposite-sex weddings. Violating the laws could result in tens of thousands of dollars in fines, the state taking away her business license, or even jail time,’ the Free Beacon said.”

How is that even remotely constitutional?

Maybe Democratic websites should be forced to support voter ID?

>>Emilee Carpenter filed a lawsuit against New York attorney general Letitia James (D.) over state nondiscrimination statutes that Carpenter said compel her to violate her religious beliefs about traditional marriage by making her publicize photos of same-sex weddings on her website. The laws require her to create photograph collections on her website celebrating same-sex weddings because she celebrates opposite-sex weddings.

Big Corp no longer advertises white heterosexual couples, or at least without making “dad” the butt of all jokes and failings in the family. Sounds discriminatory to me.

And what about Google?

Can you be forced to attend a Satanic wedding ceremony and photograph it?

How about a nudist ceremony (where everyone including the photographer must be naked)?

Simple answer, you DO have the right to refuse work.

Leftists deny their services to conservatives (especially at political functions) all the time.

Emilee is already willing to work with clients no matter who they are, including those in the LGBT community.

Apparently not in all circumstances.

She is basically an artist and shouldn’t be forced to “creatively” depict anything.

Why not make her photograph Bull fights

I have the right to refuse ANY commission for ANY reason.

Off the shelf is different from commission.

People need to realize how dangerous this idea that you can be forced to take a commission is.

It has little to with freedom of religion and everything to do with freedom, period.

Once you say people can force you to do something against your will and it is ok as long as they give you money after, you are a slave. No, less then a slave, you are an object. And there is no limit to how deep this hole can get.

Rape is ok as long as they leave a dollar.

you did the job, there was no guarantee they'd like the work

No law should be valid if it is so vague in what is considered a violation, that anyone can claim “victimhood” through their own objective feelings.

A lot of laws have been invalidated because they were too vague and unspecific in what was being addressed. This is the faggot laws in spades.

Or, take the job, do a really bad job, and lose the gaystoppo’s future recommendations.
