Supreme Court Rejects Appeal of Photographer Who Refused Service to Gay Couple 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In a victory for LGBT rights, the U.S. Supreme Court has rejected an
appeal by a New Mexico photography studio that refused to document a
same-sex commitment ceremony. The decision leaves in place a ruling by
the New Mexico Supreme Court which found the company violated state
anti-discrimination law, "in the same way as if it had refused to
photograph a wedding between people of different races."
