I’d stop advertizing and just pick up work by word of mouth. If anybody asks, its just a hobby.

Fine.
They could always just take completely crappy pictures.

So, as a private business, I have to accept all paying customers? What if someone wanted me to shoot a video of their honeymoon night in their hotel room? Would I have the right to refuse? Where does it stop?

The judges ignore the rights of Christians to practice their faith as guaranteed by the Constitution.

I think we delude ourselves if we believe that the churches themselves will not be sued over refusal of same sex weddings.
To: cripplecreek
He11, I'd shoot the event, just get loaded and walk around shooting pics with the lens cap on.

There is no Constitutional protection against discrimination. There is case law but it is not Constutionally established.

As I suggested on the other thread on this topic....
perhaps we can get the Westboro..”baptist church” to try to hire a “gay couple.’...for some reason or another and wee what transpires ??

Obviously not. If you have a business open to the public then your business is considered a "public accommodation". You can deny service to anyone except for reasons that are mentioned in specific legislation, i.e. race, nationality, sex, etc.
That list of reasons was recently expanded to include "sexual orientation", but it was not expanded to include people currently engaged in sexual intercourse.

there you go, it does not say how well have you to do it.

So, have photographers turned down jobs for other reasons or are they always required to always take the job form any person walking through the door with a check that doesn’t bounce?
To: SeekAndFind
"When Elane Photography refused to work for Vanessa Willock at her same-sex wedding, the Court said, it violated the New Mexico Human Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination in public accommodations based upon sexual orientation. "ummmm... isn't this a PRIVATE business?
And what morons would want to FORCE someone to work for them? I would not expect the best work.

Liberals will point to their "tax-free status" (which is a subsidy from the gov't) as the reason a church cannot discriminate.
Just wait.
