Photo finish may elude Kentucky wedding photographer

Appeals court questions plaintiff’s standing to sue over public accommodations ordinance

By ChristianWeek | August 4, 2023

What could have been a slam dunk for a Louisville, Ky., wedding photographer’s federal appeal was sidetracked Thursday by a last-minute play by attorneys for the local government.

Chelsey Nelson sued the Louisville Metro government in November 2019 over a public accommodations ordinance she contended would require her to photograph and create blogs for same-sex weddings. She believes marriage is designed only for one man and one woman and the city’s law would have compelled her to speak messages that violated her religious convictions. In August 2020, a federal district court judge agreed with Nelson, barring Louisville from enforcing the law against her. The city appealed.

“Our main work… has been focused on trying to disprove any type of lab theory…”

By ChristianWeek | July 14, 2023

A new report by the House of Representatives’ Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic alleges then-National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci prompted an effort to suppress the theory that the coronavirus emerged from a lab in Wuhan, China.

Fauci on numerous occasions prompted researchers to author a paper intended to “discredit” the theory that COVID-19 originated from a lab, the report states, citing internal emails. Additionally, one of the paper’s own authors noted that the paper did not help “refute a lab origin” theory.

It was life imitating art, and that art was based on my real life story and the story of many others as well.”

Laurie also attributed the turnout to the SoCal Harvest at the Honda Center the weekend before, where over 3,000 people made a profession of faith to follow Christ.
