Christian Photographer Hauled before Commission for
Refusing Same-Sex Job
By John Jalsevac
New Mexico, January 30, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The case of a Christian photographer who refused to photograph a same-sex “commitment ceremony”, was heard before the New Mexico Human Rights Division on Monday.A same-sex couple asked Elaine Huguenin, co-owner with her husband of Elane Photography, to photograph a “commitment ceremony” that the two women wanted to hold. Huguenin declined because her Christian beliefs are in conflict with the message communicated by the ceremony.
The same-sex couple filed a complaint with the New Mexico Human Rights Division, which is now trying Elane Photography under state antidiscrimination laws for sexual orientation discrimination.
- This is a private business.
- Not a government-run entity.
- Not a government-funded or supported entity.
- This is a state-run commission making the decision, not the federal government.
On Monday we defended Elane Photography in court, saying basically that no person should be required to help others advance a message that they disagree with,” ADF Senior Counsel and Senior Vice-President of the Office of Strategic Initiatives, Jordan Lorence, told LifeSiteNews in an interview today. “That’s a basic First Amendment principle. The government is punishing Elaine photography for refusing to take photos which obviously advance the messages sent by the same-sex ceremony – that marriage can be defined as two women or two men.”
In their complaint the homosexual couple has sought for an injunction against Elane Photography that will forbid them from ever again refusing to photograph a same-sex ceremony. They have also requested attorney’s fees.
“Depending on how far up the ladder this goes of appeal that could be a lot of money,” said Lorence. “Hundreds of thousands of dollars.”
We have the same thing happening up here with these damn human rights commissions. They just happened to pick on the wrong guy, who is a lawyer, and a conservative…

Needless to say, he’s letting them have it with both barrels…
I’ve always been for keeping the White House and Congress under different party control. We saw that a Republican White House and Congress was a waste of time. It would be the same if both were controlled by Democrats.
Checks and balances keeps them all under control.
Same with State control.
I just can’t help but think, “There’s a Bad Moon Rising.”
ABF: we should be so lucky, to have people who shoot back.
Ranando: I think you’ve got your CCR spot on; I think there’s a bad moon just around the corner.

I’m pretty sure ABF is referring to Ezra Levant, and Ezra is indeed doing a great job of fighting back!

I heard about this, BZ, but I don’t remember where. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t on the MSM though. So now it seems we don’t have the right to choose who our customers are, regardless how much they offend us? This is getting totally out of hand! 🙁
It’s not just about “getting out of hand,” it’s that these people will be driven out of business in order to simply DEFEND themselves in a court. Once again, Napoleonic Law: GUILTY until PROVEN innocent.

Even if the anti-freedom left loses this one they will try again and again. They will not give up because this is their religion. We are in the long war with these fanatics too.
“And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast,” (Rev. 13:2-3).

If someone were to, oh, I don’t know, say maybe shoot that son of a bitch Obama in the head and he got up and walked off, would that be some serious proof that he IS the Antichrist??
Just askin’…
