I have no issue with her right to refuse service and I would have been fine if she would have said that no I don't shoot same sex weddings or something along those lines. What made me mad is that she then went on to tell me how marriage is only for a man and a woman and then tried to preach at me.

Her comment had been completely ignored

That is very true I am so happy I hadn't given her any money or anything yet!

100% that is why she called because she didn't want me to have actual proof that she said what she said. It is disgusting!

I completely agree. It is so hard with where I am located to find anyone who has same sex couple experience. It isn't really common in my area so I think for photography I am going to have to up the budget and have someone travel!

That is what I thought, but I wasn't 100% sure. I have left reviews everywhere I could and I am reporting her to WW now!

I agree! I wouldn't have been upset at all if she would have said that she was uncomfortable doing a same sex wedding even. Instead she took it to another whole level and tried to tell me she was "doing it out of love"

I am doing the media shaming most definitely! She isn't worth the lawsuit threat lol. I am reporting her all of the places I could as well as left reviews in all of the other places to let people know!

I'm so sorry you experienced this! Hugs.

Thank you!

It looks like you got all the right info - WeddingWire has a very strict Nondiscrimination Policy and we don't allow vendors who refuse services to anyone because of who they are or who they love. If you need any help reporting this business or have any questions you can message me. Otherwise, to report any violations of our Nondiscrimination Policy - "email policy@weddingwire.com, with the subject "Nondiscrimination Policy," so we can immediately investigate and take appropriate measures, including removing vendors and users who violate our policy."

I'm sorry this happened but so glad you shared this so we can help make this right.

I reached out to support and have been in communication with them! I got a response very quickly thankfully! Thank you!

You are both half right. There is no federal law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. There are state and local laws in many places that do prohibit it. There are also many places that prohibit discrimination based on SOGI in "essential" services like housing, employment, banking, and medical care, but not in the service sector, or that have state-based policies with religious exemptions.
