Supreme Court won't hear appeal of New Mexico gay-bias case - latimes.com
In a victory for gay rights, the Supreme Court on Monday turned down an appeal from a New Mexico photographer who claimed a free-speech right to refuse to shoot a wedding album for a same-sex couple.
The photographer was charged with violating the states anti-discrimination law, which requires businesses to serve customers and clients without regard to their race, religion or sexual orientation.
The case of Elane Photography had drawn wide attention because it posed a religious-freedom challenge to state anti-discrimination laws. It was credited with spurring legislative campaigns in Arizona and Mississippi to strengthen the religious-freedom rights of business owners.
