But that's not the point. At all
The point is that the photographer violated The New Mexico Human Rights Act when she refused to provide services based on discriminatory bias. The bias in this case was sexual orientation of the clients, but it would have been the same thing if it would have been something else.
As I previously stated, it would have been the exact same result if she had refused to shoot the wedding because:
- The couple was interracial
- The couple were Christians
- The couple was fat (although I couldn't blame her. Fat people fucking suck and should be hunted for sport
)
FACT: You run a business, you have to comply with regulations. And in this case the photographer ran afoul of the New Mexico Human Rights Act, which applies to her business and all other businesses in the New Mexico area.
Of course gay marriage being a hot topic some people go apeshit, letting emotions cloud basic reading comprehension and logic.
The case had little to do with gay marriage and all to do with a business violating an established regulation
