The city of Louisville, Kentucky, can�t bar a photographer from
limiting her wedding photography business to opposite-sex
couples or from explaining why her religious beliefs compel her
to turn down same-sex wedding assignments, a federal district
court ruled Tuesday.

Chelsey Nelson, a Christian photographer who specializes in
photographing weddings, challenged the city ordinance that
required her to create photographs and online blogs for same-sex
weddings if she did so for those between a man and a woman.

The city�s public-accommodations �Fairness Ordinance� also
banned her from publicly explaining her religious reasons for
defining her wedding-photography service in that way.

Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer, in a statement Tuesday evening,
said the city �will likely� appeal the decision.

He said the city �will continue to enforce to the fullest extent
possible its ordinance prohibiting anti-discriminatory practices
and will fight against discrimination in any form.�

Attorneys with the Alliance Defending Freedom, a public-interest
law firm, asked the federal court to stop Louisville from
�threatening� Ms. Nelson, a news release stated. They also noted
Ms. Nelson�s �case is similar to one now pending before the U.S.
Supreme Court � 303 Creative v. Elenis � involving Colorado
graphic artist and website designer Lorie Smith.�

The high court will hear Ms. Smith�s case in the term beginning
in October.

�Although Louisville may require restaurants and hotels and
stores to provide services regardless of the proprietors� views
or their customers� legal status, the government may not force
singers or writers or photographers to articulate messages they
don�t support,� Judge Benjamin J. Beaton, a Trump appointee,
wrote in a 44-page opinion issued Tuesday.

The opinion also said notions of �fairness� do not give the
state the right to bar dissent.

�The Constitution does not permit governments to promote their
perceptions of fairness by extinguishing or conditioning the
free expression of opposing perceptions of the common good,� he
wrote.

ADF attorney Bryan Neihart, in a statement, said he hopes the
Supreme Court will reach a similar decision.

�Free speech is for everyone. No one should be forced to say
something they don�t believe,� he said. The district court�s
decision �sends a clear and necessary message to every
Kentuckian � and American � that each of us is free to speak and
work according to our deeply held beliefs.�

The Washington Times also contacted County Attorney Mike
O�Connell for comment.

much?

Imagine that! "Tolerant" Leftists want to GAG you from even
having the right to explain your views!

I bet that's the first time Leftists have ever tried to silence
dissent or free speech, right? /sarc

Can't image why anybody would want a photographer with that POV to
photograph their same-sex wedding.

Leftists like to control people and force them to do things they don't
choose to do.
