I personally view this as a very foolish and petty argument. This argument going to court is quite possibly the stupidest thing I have heard in a long time. Yes, the people who should take the videos for this couple might have the right to refuse service based on a state law, but why would they do that?
To me, It makes no sense for the company to refuse to take the pictures for this couple because the couple is going to give them the same money and everything, but they only thing they're protesting is that they have to look at them while the pictures were being taken. They have to look at everyone else while they take pictures anyways.
Granted, I know that we can not completely eliminate hate against same-sex couples, but it really is not good that we discriminate against people based on their sexual orientation. We don't discriminate against people for things like this based on their marital status if it's a man and a woman, but now we discriminate just because they're gay? If this photographer really does not want their money from doing their photo shoot, more than likely there are hundreds of photographers in the city, let alone the whole state, that will shoot photos for a same-sex couple.
In no way am I saying I am a complete advocate for gay rights, but the least we can do is just tolerate their way of life and treat them just like the normal people that they are.
