(Worthy News) – A federal judge in Kentucky issued an order on Friday that allows a Christian wedding photographer to turn down services for same-sex weddings without being penalized.
The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) is representing Chelsey Nelson, a photographer and blogger who filed suit against the city of Louisville in November 2019 citing its anti-discrimination law violates her constitutional rights and religious beliefs.
Nelson says the Fairness Ordinance, which advocates equality for the LGBTQ community, would force her to provide photography services to same-sex couples. [ Source: CBN News (Read More…) ]
