No that's wrong. If you're a photographer and a gay couple wants to hire you you must attend their wedding to take the photos.How does a "right to marry" trump another individuals free will?
Free Will:
Noun:
The Power of acting without contraint of necessity or fate; the ability to act one's own discretion.
Given Readily; voluntary.
Your right to act out of your own free will does not give YOU the RIght to deny another person or person's their Rights under the Constitution of The United States of America.
Your Right to Free Will does not give YOU the RIght to decide indpendent of Law the Right's of others.
You do not have to like that a person or persons have the same Rights as you.
You do not have the Right to decide that because you do not like a person or persons freely engaging the Equal Right's Under The Law, that you yourself have.
You do not have the Right to constrain, prohibit, deny or impede another person or persons from engaging in their Rights as granted under Equal Protection Clause of 14th. Amendment.
It does not matter wheather or not you like the Rights being engaged in. You do not have the power or the Right to prevent those Rights from being excerised.
You cannot, under color of your Right To Freedom of Religion deny a couple a ceremony that you are more than willing to engage in or have in the engaged in.
Your Freedom of Religion cannot be used a weapon or a club to deny other's their Rights.
You don't like the idea Gays/Lesbians getting married then I most strongly urge to to avoid marrying a Gay or Lesbian.
You do not have to attend the wedding of Gay/Lesbian Couple.
But you do not have Right to deny them their Equal Rights Under The Law to marry.
Just what we were promised wouldnt happen.
A contract for Goods and Services does not constitute "Participating" in a Gay/Lesbian Wedding Ceremony.
Participation means being a member of the Wedding Party, NOT being paid to take pictures, provide music or cater food.
Attending a Wedding as a guest does not mean participation. You are invited to watch the ceremony, not participate in the ceremony. You are sitting in Pew, in garden, on the beach, in a back yard or where ever the bride and groom wish to their Wedding Ceremony held. An invitee is NOT a participant.
A contract to deliver Goods and Services is a business agreement between the parties. That in way no constitutes "Participation" in any Ceremony, Gay or Straight. Legal Tender is exchanged to provide said Goods and Services.
Providing Flowers, Music, Photos, or Food in exchange legal tender does not make the person or persons providing the Goods and Services a participant. They are providing service.
You, as a private individual do not have to attend a Gay/Lesbian Wedding. You do not have to attend the Reception after the Wedding.
You do NOT have the Right to decide based upon your Personal/Private Belief to deny Service, it's called Public Accomdation and it is the law.
