Interesting to note, the court didn’t force the photographer to actually shoot the ceremony, rather they punished the refusal to shoot it because it was presented in a discriminatory manner.
Get ready folks….here it comes…MILITANT GAYS will be suing you soon. I understand it’s wrong to discriminate…but it’s also wrong to be sued because you refuse to perform a service based on your beliefs…are you ready?
Interesting that someone on the right noted that “good” Muslims and “good” Christians at least agree on hating and persecuting “gays”, or well anyone else their religious beliefs dictate.
“How about this real case of a lesbian in Canada going to the Human Rights Tribunal because a Muslim barber shop will not give her a man’s haircut.”You have it wrong. It had nothing to do with her being gay or her wanting a men’s haircut. It’s his religious belief that men and women should not touch members of the opposite gender unless they are a married couple. He didn’t refuse service because he believed she was sinful, but he believed it was sinful for him to touch her.
The bakery and barber cases are different. The bakery refused service because they judged the customer as sinful. The barber wasn’t condemning his perspective customer. He was trying to avoid sinning himself. The case isn’t about him judging her or forcing his beliefs on her. If he employed a woman to cut women’s hair, would the lesbian in question still have been refused service? That would have made this case on par with the AZ bakery.
