Christian Photographer Who Refused Working Same-Sex Weddings Wins $800K Settlement With Louisville, KY

Ryan Foley : Mar 26, 2026  Christian Post

[ChristianPost.com] A Christian photographer who does not wish to provide services to same-sex weddings has reached a large settlement after years of litigation over a nondiscrimination provision in a local law she feared would force her to violate her deeply held convictions. The city of Louisville, Kentucky, had agreed to pay $800,000 in attorney fees as part of a settlement with photographer Chelsey Nelson. ... "The government cannot force Americans to say things they don't believe," said Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Bryan Neihart. "For almost six years, Louisville officials tried to do just that by threatening to force Chelsey to promote views about marriage that violate her religious beliefs. Louisville's threats contradicted bedrock First Amendment principles, which leave decisions about what to say with the people, not the government. This settlement should teach Louisville that violating the US Constitution can be expensive."... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here Click Here to read.
