ridiculous.

...so, 2 lovely ladies go to a wedding photographer, and request them to shoot thier "commitment ceremony", but when she declines, due to her religious beliefs, they file a complaint...

"...The couple that included Willock approached Elaine Huguenin and wanted the Huguenins to photograph a "commitment ceremony" the women wanted to hold.

"Huguenin declined because her Christian beliefs are in conflict with the message communicated by the ceremony," according to the law firm.

Willock then alleged she was a victim of "discrimination" because of her sexual orientation, and brought the complaint before the state agency.

In its ruling this week, the commission found: "Complainant, Vanessa Willock, proved her discrimination claim based on sexual orientation. The Complainant proved by a preponderance of the evidence that the Respondent, Elane Photography, LLC, discriminated against her because of sexual orientation, in violation of … the New Mexico Human Rights Act."

The Christian couple was ordered to pay Willock $6,637.94."

Ok. First, this illustrated the outright stupidity of the photographers to turn away business...I have performed at a few of these, and let me tell you: flawless. Maybe these were 'pain in the ass complaining dykes', in which case I would understand just saying 'no thanks', or 'I'm booked', or anything but : 'God won't let me'!

But secondly, why would you demand or want these idiots to shoot your wedding? You are NOT Rosa Parks, ladies. You are NOT being denied service at a Woolworths lunch counter. A private company should be free to accept or decline gigs for any reason, any time.

Here's my prediction: if this is the kind of thinking these ladies share, they won't last....They will 'divorce' within 5 years.
