Christian Photographer Hauled Before Commission For Refusing Same-Sex Job

I’ve been extremely busy, but I know I need to post. So, I’m going to hat tip the lovely VelvetHammer and copy her post. Many of you may have already seen this at Velvet’s place, but for those of you who haven’t — is this an outrage or what?

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.

The Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), a legal alliance that is dedicated to defending and protecting religious freedom, sanctity of life, marriage, and family, is currently defending Elane Photography. Continue Reading …

It makes me proud that Tieki Rae desires to work for an organization such as the Alliance Defense fund when she finishes school. I believe she’ll give ‘em heck. :)

Once again, thank you Velvet for these outrageous finds you dig up.

    There is no right to require that other people follow your own religious beliefs, whether those be Christian, Muslim, Wiccan, or atheist.

    Would they sue an Orthodox Jew for not photographing a ceremony performed on her Sabbath? a Muslim for not photographing a pork, ham, and bacon buffet?

    One of my friends works at ADF.

    It looks like the ADF will is a worthwhile cause for conservatives disgusted with Presidential politics and looking for a place to send donations (that otherwise might have gone to a presidential campaign) in hopes that something good can be accomplished.
