[Real Cynic No More]

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?

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.

What if somebody wanted you to create a photo essay on their "Happy Birthday Adolph Hitler" parade?

Or their Muslim "Behead the Gays" Rally?

This is so obviously not "discrimination" against gays as individual customers. I am sure they could go through their files --- assuming they don't "just" do weddings --- and find lots of gay customers they happily photographed for school graduations and other occasions.

They are not discriminating against a class of customers. They are choosing what kind of events they will or will not provide a service for. It involves a contract, does it not? Can the State really coerce entering into a contract?
