One attorney says a New Mexico couple will stand on their faith, regardless of losing the latest court ruling concerning their refusal to photograph a lesbian couple’s “commitment ceremony” six years ago.
As reported earlier on OneNewsNow, the New Mexico Court of Appeals has upheld a ruling from the New Mexico Human Rights Commission that Elaine and Jon Huguenin of Elane Photography were guilty of “sexual orientation” discrimination against a lesbian pair who wanted their commitment ceremony photographed in 2006. That ruling was based on the state’s anti-discrimination laws.
“I think this case illustrates a disturbing trend that we’re seeing in general, which is a shrinking of religious liberty and [a shrinking] of the area in which we can act on our religious convictions to only the four walls of our homes or the four walls of our churches,” warns Peter Sprigg of the Family Research Council (FRC).

This female homosexual couple, aka, lesbians, weren’t really looking to hire a photographer – they were looking for someone to sue. Only someone wanting to create an issue, or an over-educated, liberal idiot judge would see this any other way. If I am wanting someone to take pictures of a special event that I really want to remember fondly later on, I am going to want to hire the photographer who is enthusiastic and excited about what I want done. If I have one tell me that they really don’t want to do it, I would go looking for one that did. How many photographers were available besides this couple? Did they find one who was willing, or even eager to take pictures of a couple of girls kissing on each other in a ceremony. Lots of folks would find that exciting. So, the suit had no merit. The judge erred in not throwing the suit out, and the homosexuals got their publicity and the judgement they wanted from an idiot, incompetent judge, and from a shady, immoral lawyer. They didn’t want a photographer, they wanted to cause trouble.
Here’s a suggestion. Tell the lesbians that for $500,000.00 you will film their ceremony. That would end the garbage. All the lesbians are interested in is publicity and someone to sue. Trifling people!!!!!!!
