A ruling from Judge Tim L. Garcia
in the New Mexico Court of Appeals says states can require Christians
to violate their faith in order to do business, affirming a penalty of
nearly $7,000 for a photographer who refused to take pictures at a
lesbian “commitment” ceremony in the state where same-sex “marriage” was
illegal.
Judge’s Cynthia Fry and James Wechsler joined in the ruling by
Garcia, which involved Elane Photography, whose owners, Elaine and
Jonathan Huegeunin, are Christians and declined to do photography for
lesbians Vanessa Willock and another woman.
The women complained under the state’s anti-discrimination requirements
and a state commission, the New Mexico Human Rights Commission, imposed
the penalty, which now has been affirmed by the appeals court judges.
The judges explained in the 45-page ruling that the photography company
is a “public accommodation” and those cannot discriminate under state
law based on “sexual orientation.”

So tell them you will do it, but there is a "subcontractor's fee" which is $1m. No problem. Pay the sub and take the money. That wat you didn't do it, the pics are only available through the sub, and you are a millionaire! Problem solved.
