NM: Photographers Denied the Freedom To Choose What They Photograph

On the Volokh Conspiracy, Eugene Volokh comments on this case being handled by the Alliance Defense Fund. He begins:

Elaine Huguenin co-owns Elane Photography with her husband. The bulk of Elane’s work is done by Elaine, though she subcontracts some of the work some of the time. Elane refused to photograph Vanessa Willock’s same-sex commitment ceremonies, and just today the New Mexico Human Rights Commission held that this violated state antidiscrimination law. Elane has been ordered to pay over $6600 in attorney’s fees and costs.
