Elaine and Jon Huguenin, owners of Elane Photography in Albuquerque, New Mexico, are evangelical Christians. When asked by a lesbian couple to photograph the couple's same-sex commitment ceremony, they politely declined on the basis that they didn't want their art to be used to promote a lifestyle with which they disagree.
That should have been the end of it, right? Wrong. The New Mexico Human Rights Commission has since ruled that the Huguenins violated state law prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and has ordered them to pay the lesbian couple $6,637.94 in attorney fees. (Full story here.)
Remember: Only certain groups of people are allowed to force their views on others. If you truly value freedom, chances are you don't belong to one of them.
