ADVERTISEMENTS
An Alliance Defense Fund release reports that a hearing was scheduled for yesterday and today before the New Mexico Human Rights Division on a complaint by a lesbian couple that a photographer discriminated against them when she refused to photograph their commitment ceremony.

[Thanks to Eugene Volokh via Religionlaw for the lead.]
