If she is operating on for the profit of Lucre over social morals for free basis she has no grounds for complaint.This case is a bit different than the others, because NY's law is far more invasive than the others being enforced in other States.
Christian wedding photographer sues NY over nondiscrimination law
Emilee Carpenter filed a lawsuit against New York attorney general Letitia James (D.) over state nondiscrimination statutes that Carpenter said compel her to violate her religious beliefs about traditional marriage by making her publicize photos of same-sex weddings on her website. The laws require her to create photograph collections on her website celebrating same-sex weddings because she celebrates opposite-sex weddings. Violating the laws could result in tens of thousands of dollars in fines, the state taking away her business license, or even jail time.
The statutes also forbid Carpenter from publishing any sort of editorial stance explaining her religious beliefs about marriage on her website. Carpenter said in an interview that her beliefs are inseparable from her work as a wedding photographer and that the laws are violating her First Amendment rights.
“My faith has been really integral to me as a person but also to my business and the way I operate it and the artwork I create,” Carpenter said. “My faith is really the lens through which I view my art.”
So not only does she have to photograph the weddings OR ELSE, she has to post pictures from said SSM ceremonies on her website OR ELSE, and cannot post anything about her religious beliefs on the matter OR ELSE.
Ah...so a christian so upset because she can't discriminate based on her every moving-target religious beliefs. Ok.....This case is a bit different than the others, because NY's law is far more invasive than the others being enforced in other States.

Well the issues is she wants to post "no same sex wedding policy" on her website. So the issue appears what she wants to post and not they are wanting her to post same sex wedding pictures.
I would say that there is no need for her to post such a policy. It is discrimination. Does she have the right to refuse to accept a job from a same sex couple. In my opinion yes. She could overcharge them or just tell them that it is a problem for her because of her beliefs. I cannot believe anyone who is planning a wedding would not just walk away from her business. They are not going to try and maker her do it.
It seems they are trying to frame the argument in such a way that it sounds really bad
They have made others do it "or else" in other cases.
NY's law is more than likely far more restrictive because NY is currently 100% controlled by progressives.
Alleged Christian.Ah...so a christian so upset because she can't discriminate based on her every moving-target religious beliefs. Ok.....This case is a bit different than the others, because NY's law is far more invasive than the others being enforced in other States.

NY's law is more than likely far more restrictive because NY is currently 100% controlled by progressives.
from the lawsuit that was filed
Specifically, New York laws require Emilee to create photographs and blogs celebrating same-sex marriage because she creates photographs and blogs celebrating opposite-sex marriage. The laws also prohibit Emilee from adopting an editorial policy consistent with her beliefs about marriage. And the laws even make it illegal for Emilee to post statements on her business’s own website explaining her religious views on marriage or her reasons for only creating this wedding content. N.Y. Exec. Law § 296.2(a) (forbidding statements that someone’s “patronage” is “unwelcome, objectionable or not accepted, desired, or solicited”).
The key is her editorial policy vs the law which forbids statements that discriminate
now I do not believe that the law requires her to place on her website pictures celebrating same sex marriage
yes it does forbid statements placed on her website that ays she will not create her art based on discrimination.
The lawsuit continues to say that
Emilee faces these risks each day she runs her company. She has already declined to respond to several requests to photograph same-sex weddings.
And New York has already punished other business owners for holding Emilee’s beliefs about marriage
It does seem that they did nothing to her based on that statement.
this is an effort to remove the gender identification issues from the law and they are using her as the poster girl for this effort. I really like to see what did they do that caused her to file this lawsuit other than limit overt statements of discrimination. This law provides discrimination on race. Does that mean she has to have pictures of Asians, Hispanics, Blacks, Indians, etc, etc
So if a couple does ask her to take photos and she says no and says that because they are same sex she will not do it. yeah there might be a problem if they push it.
To me she is being bankrolled by others who want to challenge the same sex issue
Emilee Carpenter Photography v. James - Complaint.pdf (adflegal.org)
To me this is an issues of can you be overt about it and deny someone based on discrimination of sex, race, religion. etc. Making this an issues because of beliefs of a wedding photographer is a publicity stunt
Yes, she can incorporate on a not for the profit of Lucre over social morals for free under our form of Capitalism and advertise her Religious convictions as a lay person and not a person who has taken any sacred Religious vows.not allowed to use her rights. she has rights too, right?Ah...so a christian so upset because she can't discriminate based on her every moving-target religious beliefs.

There would be no need for this "publicity stunt" if people weren't pushed to do things they don't want to do.
The second the activists find out someone has a religious objection to SSM, they get flooded with requests for such services to create complaints.
Compelling speech seems like a violation of the First Amendment not a religious issue.
The answer is for one of these SSM advocates to open a bakery and photo business and they will be inundated by all of these people who want to use their services.Well the issues is she wants to post "no same sex wedding policy" on her website.

Maybe but is there a easier way to handle it.
other than to state the obvious reason for not handling it. She operates a business. There are other less obvious ways to turn down a request other than just says it against my religion. IF they flood the business then it is up to the flooder to prove discrimination.
ultimately she filed the lawsuit claiming religious beliefs as the basis. The first part of the lawsuit goes into her artistic feelings about her art.
If they operate on a for-profit basis they must seek to maximize profit not social morals for free under our form of Capitalsim. Anyone serious about their religion would operate on a not-for-the-profit-of-Lucre over social morals for free under our form of Capitalism. Not-for-profit is a valid incorporation for persons who are actually serious about their religiousity.I agree. Even customers have First Amendment protection from sellers.Yes, she can incorporate on a not for the profit of Lucre over social morals for free under our form of Capitalism and advertise her Religious convictions as a lay person and not a person who has taken any sacred Religious vows.not allowed to use her rights. she has rights too, right?Ah...so a christian so upset because she can't discriminate based on her every moving-target religious beliefs. Ok.....This case is a bit different than the others, because NY's law is far more invasive than the others being enforced in other States.
Christian wedding photographer sues NY over nondiscrimination law
Emilee Carpenter filed a lawsuit against New York attorney general Letitia James (D.) over state nondiscrimination statutes that Carpenter said compel her to violate her religious beliefs about traditional marriage by making her publicize photos of same-sex weddings on her website. The laws require her to create photograph collections on her website celebrating same-sex weddings because she celebrates opposite-sex weddings. Violating the laws could result in tens of thousands of dollars in fines, the state taking away her business license, or even jail time.
The statutes also forbid Carpenter from publishing any sort of editorial stance explaining her religious beliefs about marriage on her website. Carpenter said in an interview that her beliefs are inseparable from her work as a wedding photographer and that the laws are violating her First Amendment rights.
“My faith has been really integral to me as a person but also to my business and the way I operate it and the artwork I create,” Carpenter said. “My faith is really the lens through which I view my art.”
So not only does she have to photograph the weddings OR ELSE, she has to post pictures from said SSM ceremonies on her website OR ELSE, and cannot post anything about her religious beliefs on the matter OR ELSE.
Free exercise isn't limited to the clergy.
Where in the first amendment does it say you have a right to a specific wedding cake, or a specific photographer?
I believe the lady has and continues to photograph same sex weddings--she just doesn't want to put those photos on her website. She has the right to use any advertising photos she wants. NY will lose this one. I hope the photographer gets rich off of the lawsuit.
If she is operating on for the profit of Lucre over social morals for free basis she has no grounds for complaint.
