A federal court has sided with a Christian photographer challenging nondiscrimination provisions she believes would force her to work same-sex weddings despite her religious objections. This is the latest example of U.S. courts ruling in favor of religious liberty protections.
In an opinion published Tuesday, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky sided with photographer Chelsey Nelson in her ongoing legal dispute with the city of Louisville over its prohibition on discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity or the denial of services based on said characteristics.
Judge Benjamin Beaton, appointed to the bench by President Donald Trump, authored the decision.
Nelson, a practicing Christian who believes that marriage is a sacramental union between one man and one woman, informs prospective clients that she doesn't provide photography services for same-sex weddings.
