Back in April, Emilee Carpenter filed a lawsuit against New York’s Attorney General Letitia James over non-discrimination laws.
The case was initially brought forward after Carpenter refused to photograph numerous same-sex couples. After being faced with a potential fine of $100,000, the photographer filed a suit stating that the protective laws worked against her 14th amendment rights. “Just as the government cannot compel a lesbian baker to create a cake condemning same-sex marriage or an atheist playwright to wax positively about God, New York cannot force Emilee to convey messages she objects to,” the lawsuit said.
