On Tuesday, a photographer in Virginia filed suit against the Virginia Attorney General and the Director of the Virginia Division of Human Rights and Fair Housing to challenge a law that took effect Wednesday that forbids him from publicly explaining on his studio’s own website the religious reasons why he will only celebrate wedding ceremonies between a man and a woman.

maybe he should just tell the queers he's busy.

ADF adds, “But Virginia interprets this law to force Chris to do more than serve LGBT clients (which Chris already does). Virginia instead requires Chris to promote content he disagrees with—to create and convey photographs and blogs celebrating same-sex weddings because he does so for weddings between a man and a woman. The law even makes it illegal for Chris to hold a policy of photographing and blogging about weddings only between a man and woman or to post internet statements explaining his religious reasons for only creating this wedding content.”

This paragraph is from the source.

I find it odd they want Chris Herring to create web content that shows why he disagrees with something he does not disallow in his business, i.e. he has not disqualified gay marriage or taking photographs of the weddings.

I think the state of Virginia is making mountains out of mole hills on this. ;)
