The U.S. Dept. of Justice under Attorney General Bill Barr has intervened in a pre-emptive lawsuit filed by a Kentucky wedding photographer who claims her interpretation of her Christian religion bars her from taking photos of weddings of same-sex couples.

No same-sex couple has ever tried to hire Chelsey Nelson to photograph their nuptials, but her attorneys, the far right wing Alliance Defending Freedom, filed the lawsuit against Louisville city officials anyway, according to the AP. The ADF appears on the Southern Poverty Law Center list of anti-LGBTQ hate groups.

Someone somewhere might be gay and wanting to have a wedding with photos and all. Can't have that!

1. Love is only for "normal" people.

Sarcasm thingie.

2. So, they are filing lawsuits before any gay couples even ask them now?

Their extremely homophobic slips are showing. And they talk about anyone else having an agenda? I hope they are laughed out of court.

3. Who exactly is the photographer suing if no one

has tried to hire this so-called "christian" to take any pictures at a gay wedding?

4. So let me get this straight

A "christian" who does not follow the teachings of Jesus ("Love one another&quot has filed a lawsuit over an anti-LGBT ordinance even though no gay couple has asked her to take wedding photos. And Bill Barf tells DOJ that “Court should find that Plaintiffs have demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits.”

Doesn't he have enough to do with getting Fat Donnie's criminal ring out of jail?

Sidenote: I just checked her Yelp listing. Chelsey Nelson is getting flamed. Thought of doing it myself, but that would be wrong.

Edit: Let me get this straight was as request for clarification, not a pun.
