The commission ruled that the company, run by a young Christian husband and wife, was guilty of “sexual orientation” discrimination under state antidiscrimination laws for declining to photograph a same-sex “commitment ceremony.”

What, now you can’t decide who you want to work for?

I thought all the laws giving extra protection to special groups would come back to bite us. Every time the government makes some of these laws while saying this group or that group needs extra protection you can bet that it isn’t for their protection. It is to give them an edge.
