The New Republic's Isaac Chotiner notes some dissatisfaction with the New Hampshire compromise over gay marriage (Gov. John Lynch agreed to sign the bill if the legislature adds provisions "exempting any religious group – and any person or nonprofit organization working for such a group – from having to participate in such ceremonies."). Kevin Smith, a leader of the state's anti-marriage movement, doesn't think the protections go far enough.
This amendment does nothing to protect the religious liberties of independent business owners, such as photographers and caterers, who in good conscience cannot perform theirservices for same-sex marriage ceremonies.It'd be easy enough to make a joke here or suggest that, given the current state of the economy, you're unlikely to see someone turning down a chance to sell puff pastry at ridiculously inflated prices, but we'll simply say that marriage opponents do at least display an admirable degree of consistency: all of their arguments are completely ridiculous.

I can't wait till they drag all those snooty caterers out of their churches and force them into service for gay weddings.
"It was wicked awful I tell ya'. They came in here with their matching LL Bean coal bags and the demanded canapes. And believe you me, I know exactly what them perverts meant by 'cream-filled'. So that's it, yer Honor. That's why I raped my __________."
He should go back to making shitty movies.
He's barking up the wrong legislation - that would only be an issue if sexual preference were added to anti-discrimination laws.
But I say give him what he wants, as long as it cuts both ways - and then we'll all sit back and laugh at the ridiculous home hair-stylings on all the straights denied access to salons.
If photographers, stylists, caterers, florists, musicians, etc. had had the right to refuse on moral grounds, almost fucking NOBODY would have gotten married in the past, if objection to grotesquely bad tasteis a moral value. Which it is in my book. The only destination wedding I believe in is in hell.
