It Can’t Happen Here
. . . oh yes it can.
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 anti discrimination laws for sexual orientation discrimination.
Canada isn't the only nanny state hosting an Orwellian 'human rights' Star Chamber. It seems we now have at least one here in the U.S. as well.
P.S. I wonder if this might not actually be a 13th Amendment issue. What, this photographer is required by law to work, against her will? We have a name for that, and it is called involuntary servitude.
