A Virginia-based photographer has filed a lawsuit in federal court claiming that the state's new anti-discrimination law infringes on his first amendment rights. The photographer objects to shooting same-sex weddings on religious grounds, and believes the new law could "force" him to either work with same-sex couples or face bankruptcy.
The US Department of Justice weighed in on a controversial Kentucky lawsuit this week, when they backed a Christian wedding photographer who is suing the city of Louisville over a law that could, potentially be used to "force" her to shoot same-sex weddings.
