90. It's wrong, but it's not a fight worth picking, IMO

If someone wants to lose out on business because of homophobic beliefs, I'm sure there are plenty of other photographers happy to photograph this wedding, and why would they want to hire someone who doesn't believe in their wedding? IMO, there is a slight difference between refusing service to gays altogether and refusing to photograph a gay wedding. Also, there's a slight difference between something like a photography contract, which is usually individually negotiated and involves a longish-term working relationship, versus someone just walking into a store and being refused service because of who they are. This becomes a slippery slope - change "gay wedding" to "white pride parade" in this scenario, and I would bet many people on here would feel differently about this case. Cases like this make bad law that are used as precedent to make it easier the next time someone wants to discriminate, such as by putting "whites only" in the window.
