The New Mexico Court of Appeals has upheld a ruling that a professional photographer who refused to take pictures of a gay couple's commitment ceremony violated state anti-discrimination laws. The Albuquerque Journal (http://bit.ly/JSAdE5 ) reports the court agreed on Thursday with a previous ruling, ruling the photo studio is considered public, similar to a restaurant or store. The New Mexico Human Rights Commission ruled in 2008 that Elane Photography violated the state Human Rights Act by discriminating against Vanessa Willock on the basis of sexual orientation. The photography studio says its refusal was not an act of discrimination, but a reflection of the owners' religious and moral beliefs.
So next time somebody tells you that your moral and religious won't be trampled if gay marriage or "marriage equality" comes into place, just don't believe them. They know what we know, yet, they want to play blind to the truth that those who object, will be silenced, prosecuted, jailed, etc.
This the reasoning of the judges:
The studio asked hypothetically whether an African-American photographer would be required to photograph a Ku Klux Klan rally.The court responded: "The Ku Klux Klan is not a protected class. Sexual orientation, however, is protected."
So, if the Nazis take over, and are protected, it will be not good to bring a class action against them, due to their "political orientation"???
Oh Lord, how far has society come to non-sense!!
