who sued the city of Louisville over its anti-discrimination ordinance that prohibited her from refusing to serve same-sex couples. That case is ongoing.in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York arguing that the state’s nondiscrimination law unconstitutionally prohibits wedding photographer Emilee Carpenter “from adopting an editorial policy consistent with her beliefs about marriage.
For the most part, courts have upheld nondiscrimination laws, but in the instances they haven’t, they often rule on technicalities or rule that the laws violate the freedom of expression of creative professionals, Pizer said. For instance, in September 2019, thethat the state’s nondiscrimination law violated the free speech of two artists who create custom wedding invitations by compelling them to promote same-sex weddings.
The free speech argument could also represent a potential challenge to the Equality Act, proposed federal legislation that would protect LGBTQ people in many areas. The measurePizer said that, because Kenneth Randall is an accountant and not a creative professional, she doesn’t think an argument related to free speech would apply if there were a federal or state nondiscrimination law in Kentucky.

NBCOUT Their business their choice
NBCOUT They need to take every penny they can get these days
NBCOUT And let's see the reaction of these people who support discrimination against LGBTQ+ if businesses stopped serving 'Christians'...
NBCOUT Its 2021 and people are still using religion to do harm, such a willfully ignorant Nation.
NBCOUT Go to a business that WILL serve you! That damn simple.
NBCOUT It is beyond frustrating that religion, which is a choice, has protection to discriminate against being LGBTQ, which is not.
NBCOUT If seeing a gay couple spend money in your store makes you uncomfortable, that's your problem, not theirs. These piss poor capitalists don't seem to understand personal responsibility and instead choose to take other's existence personally... May they all bankrupt!
dantoujours NBCOUT The least expensive thing you can do is put the offending retailer on Yelp with a negative review so others will avoid them. Let the free marketplace drive them out.
NBCOUT Omg
NBCOUT My religion demands that I refuse Christians
NBCOUT If you see this, put the business on blast.
