Same-sex Marriage Case

I think it was kind of pointless for the couple to take this argument to court; however, the judge should have at least listened to what the couple had to say since they did take it to court. I get that the company did not want to shoot the video because of their religious beliefs, but companies are not allowed to refuse service to a certain race or person because of their skin color; that is discrimination and that is prohibited by the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964. This company was refusing service based off of their genders and who they were marrying, that is discrimination because you are categorizing a person based off of who they are.

Same-sex relationships have been around for a long time and same-sex marriage is now becoming a thing and it will probably get a lot more common so even if you do not agree with it, some people are just going to have to get used to it. I think the company should have shot the video even though they did not agree with the marriage. They are humans just like the rest of us and should be treated just like anyone else. The company was still going to get the same amount of money and instead of taking the video, they refused to and got terrible publicity.
