NM Supreme Court Finds Refusing to Photograph Gay Wedding Illegal

The New Mexico Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that, by refusing to photograph a gay wedding, a photography studio violated the New Mexico Human Rights Act (NMHRA).

The court found that Elane Photography’s refusal to serve Vanessa Willock violated the act, which “prohibits a public accommodation from refusing to offer its services to a person based on that person’s sexual orientation,” according to the ruling.

Justice Richard C. Bosson, writing in concurrence, said that the case “provokes reflection on what this nation is all about, its promise of fairness, liberty, equality of opportunity, and justice.” In addition, the case “teaches that at some point in our lives all of us must compromise, if only a little, to accommodate the contrasting values of others. A multicultural, pluralistic society, one of our nation’s strengths, demands no less.”

Enter a restaurant and you see this sign, "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone." Dumb decision.

Bullshit! The majority should compromise to tiny minorities? Bosson can ES&D!

I've heard of this happening to a wedding cake bakery.  Maybe this is something that needs to go to the U.S. Supreme Court.  What's going to be next?  Forcing a priest or pastor to perform the marriage?  It's another drip, drip, drip towards a dictatorship.

So it wasn't all about gay equality. Who could have predicted ?

There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

So find a queer photog......Oh, that's right, it won't get you into the courtroom so you can further your queer agenda.
