Homosexuals not only have a right to marry in a state that does not recognize same-sex "marriage," but also have the right to compel others to violate their own beliefs: The New Mexico Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that, by refusing to photograph a gay wedding, a photography studio violated the New Mexico Human Rights Act (NMHRA).
The court found that Elane Photography’s refusal to serve Vanessa Willock violated the act, which “prohibits a public accommodation from refusing to offer its services to a person based on that person’s sexual orientation,” according to the ruling.
Justice Richard C. Bosson, writing in concurrence, said that the case “provokes reflection on what this nation is all about, its promise of fairness, liberty, equality of opportunity, and justice.” In addition, the case “teaches that at some point in our lives all of us must compromise, if only a little, to accommodate the contrasting values of others. A multicultural, pluralistic society, one of our nation’s strengths, demands no less.”Have you ever heard so much nonsense from a public official?
Originally, a right meant one was free from being forced into something. Now, it means that one is entitled to force others to do what you want, no matter their beliefs. Justice Bosson made that explicit. "The price of citizenship," he says, means we Americans "have to channel their conduct, not their beliefs, so as to leave space for other Americans who believe something different.” What he's saying is that Christians must embrace homosexuality.
This is just one more example of how multiculturalism is the enemy of liberty.
