Christian wedding photographer can't be forced to work same-sex weddings, judge rules

30. I just don't think THIS particular situation is a hill worth dying on, proverbially ...

If it were a physical place of business, that would be entirely different. Or a medical professional denying care.

The whole 'weddings' thing is, for better or worse, steeped in religiosity.

And the business of being a wedding photographer requires the person to spend hours in an environment that could ostensibly deeply offend their supposed deeply-held beliefs. Then they have to spend hours working with the photos they took.. I can sorta understand why one might not want to do so if they're religious.

Don't get me wrong, I hate religion in general and think it's kinda bullshit that business people are allowed to get away with this (and that the grounds the ruling it's based on is bullshit) ... but at the same time, it's not worth a big fight over. Simply because there ARE plenty of other photographers and caterers and the like.

If the ONLY arena these assholes get away with this kind of bullshit is 'in-person wedding services' and basically nowhere else ... I think that would be a fair compromise. Put it that way.
