“No person should ever be forced to speak a message prescribed by the government. The First Amendment guarantees the right to speak and the right not to speak”
LOUISVILLE, KY – A U.S. District Court issued a preliminary injunction that stops the enforcement of a Louisville law that forced a wedding photographer and blogger to participate in same-sex weddings against her conscience.
The photographer, Chelsey Nelson, owns a studio that specializes in photographing, editing and blogging about weddings. Nelson is a Christian and believes she can only use her artistic talents on wedding assignments that are consistent with her religious beliefs.
