MAJOR Free Speech Battle Won: Christian Photographer Scores Victory
A Christian photographer recently scored a major victory for religious liberty when the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky ruled that Louisville officials had violated her First Amendment rights. Chelsey Nelson, the photographer in question, challenged a law she said would mandate that she violate her conscience on traditional marriage. While she didn't face any direct punishment or threat, she took preemptive action against the ordinance in an attempt to prevent future issues.
"Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys representing Chelsey Nelson and her photography studio filed the lawsuit Chelsey Nelson Photography v. Louisville-Jefferson County Metro Government in 2019 because Louisville’s law prohibited Nelson from expressing her views on marriage on her studio’s website and threatened to compel her to create photographs and blogs celebrating a message about marriage she does not believe," a press release explained. Nelson told CBN News she was a young mom trying to figure out business and raise her family when she found herself feeling compelled to speak up.
