Discrimination vs. Religious Belief?

Elaine Huguenin is a photographer in New Mexico who declined to photograph a same-sex commitment ceremony because creating images of that event would have violated her religious beliefs about marriage. A discrimination complaint was filed against Elane Photography, which is the photography business that Elaine Huguenin co-owns with her husband, Jonathan.

On August 22, 2013, the New Mexico Supreme Court ruled against Elane Photography. Elane Photography has now asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review its case.

The case illustrates the broader and growing conflict between nondiscrimination laws and religious freedom on issues such as sex, marriage, and family.
