Summary
A Louisville, Kentucky, law forces a photographer and blogger to create photographs and blogs promoting same-sex wedding ceremonies if she creates photographs and blogs celebrating weddings between one man and one woman. The law also forbids her and her studio from publicly explaining to clients and potential clients (through her studio’s own website or social media sites) the religious reasons why she only celebrates wedding ceremonies between one man and one woman.
