Supreme Court rejects appeal from photographer who wouldn't serve lesbian couple

The Supreme Court announced Monday that it will not hear a case involving a New Mexico photography business that refused to capture the commitment ceremony of a lesbian couple in 2006. The New Mexico Supreme Court has ruled that Elane Photography violated the state's nondiscrimination protections. Elane Photography had asked the U.S. Supreme Court to consider the lawsuit based on First Amendment protections.
