Do that, and you'd be explaining it to a judge in short order, because you contracted to perform specific duties that did not include voicing [or disseminating] your opinion on the moral character of the clients.

Horse hockey. Being contracted to perform specific duties does not limit you solely to those duties. And it certainly doesn't prevent you from exercising your First Amendment rights. Their only redress is to fire me and not allow me to photograph the wedding. Yeah, that would hurt.

Deliberately inflicting emotional distress upon innocent bystanders?

Deliberately inflicting emotional distress in forcing me to perform a service that is contrary to my own life principles? Deliberately insisting that someone who hates you be the one to photograph the most important day in your life?

Is that what Jesus would do? I bet the judge doesn't think so.

I'm pretty sure the judge would agree that Jesus wouldn't photograph the wedding in the first place.

How long would your business last after that news item or vid goes viral? Talk about winning the battle and losing the war, lol. Genius!

It would just devastate me if the throngs of gay wedding hopefuls failed to give me their business, especially since none of my business previously depended on them.

Wedding pictures taken from THAT angle could be very interesting.

In the US a restroom is the 'john'. In England it is often called the "Water Closet" OR "WC" for short. SO, "JohnWC" Ok enough English jokes. Loaded and rolling.

The redundancy of of John and Water Closet is exactly what I think of whenever I see your name.

You can't be discriminated against at a motel for being white, male, straight, for having long hair, or a beard, but they can discriminate against you if you are a smoker.
