In 2006, when Vanessa Willock, a lesbian, approached Elane and requested that she photograph her commitment ceremony, Hugenin declined, stating that she only covers traditional weddings.<\/p>\n<p>The situation soon ended up before the New Mexico Human Rights Commission, who ruled against Hugenin in 2008, stating that she was guilty of violating the state\u2019s \u201csexual orientation\u201d discrimination law. New Mexico law prohibits \u201cany person in a\u00a0public accommodation to make a distinction, directly or indirectly, in offering or refusing to offer\u00a0its services \u2026to any person because of\u2026sexual orientation.\u201d The commission then ordered the photographer to pay nearly $7,000 in fines for refusing to shoot the ceremony. <a href=\"http:\/\/christiannews.net\/2013\/08\/22\/nm-supreme-court-christian-photographers-must-compromise-faith-shoot-homosexual-weddings\/\" target=\"_blank\">Click here <\/a>to continue reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Heather Clark Christian News&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[257,614,113,46,385,45],"tags":[173,2939,1932,2919,2932,2920],"class_list":["post-12994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-same-sex-marriage","category-world-in-crisis","category-homosexuality","category-politics","category-freedom-signs-of-the-times","category-signs-of-the-times","tag-freedom","tag-same-sex-marriage","tag-new-mexico","tag-signs-of-the-times","tag-homosexuality","tag-politics","wpcat-257-id","wpcat-614-id","wpcat-113-id","wpcat-46-id","wpcat-385-id","wpcat-45-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.4) -
