Insanity in ALBUQUERQUE - Court rules Christians must service "gay" marriages


The state Court of Appeals has upheld a ruling that a professional photographer who refused to take pictures of a gay couple's commitment ceremony violated New Mexico's discrimination law.

The Albuquerque Journal reports the court agreed with a previous ruling Monday, stating the photo studio is considered a public accommodation, similar to a restaurant or store.

The New Mexico Human Rights Commission ruled in 2008 that Elane Photography violated the state Human Rights Act by discriminating against Vanessa Willock on the basis of sexual orientation.

The Alliance Defense Fund, a Washington, D.C.-based legal alliance of Christian attorneys and others, says it plans to appeal the ruling.

The photography studio says its refusal was not an act of discrimination, but a reflection of the owners' religious and moral beliefs.
