That said, she should be called out, long and loud, for their discrimination and let the market decide their fates. I hope that the vendors who supply her business needs decide that she is not a worthy customer either. People should march in front of her business the same way that anti-abortion people rally in front of clinics. What is good for the goose is good for the other goose.

(17,675 posts)"But muh rights"
I'm so sick of these preemptive bigoted assaults on the LGBTQ community. So the ordinance violates her rights because she isn't allowed to post on her website that she only photographs opposite sex weddings? When are we going to accept that these so-called personal religious beliefs are no more sacred than "whites only signs", which were also justified by strongly held personal beliefs.
These people are perpetual victims.
This issue is so weird. Do these photographers interview potential clients and get a list of every "sin" they've ever committed? I'm sure they think that atheists are sinners too, but I've never heard of anyone posting that they don't do atheist weddings.
As a gay man, though, I think it might be better to shine a light on these people and let everyone know to not use their services. Personally, I wouldn't want someone like this working at my wedding!
Folks like this are also just trying to stir the pot. If a gay couple asked her to do their wedding, all she has to say is, "I'm sorry. I am booked that weekend." And that would be it. I guess lying is against her religion too.
