successful, the government could similarly require an unwilling muslim movie director to make a film with a zionist message or atheist muralist to accept a commission celebrating evangelical zeal so long as they make films or murals for other members of the public with different messages. or the government could enforce a male website designer married to another man to design websites for an organization that advocates against same-sex marriage. justice society mayor s minority opinion responded in kind. she raised the example of a professional photographer who is generally free to choose her subjects. can make a living pay taking photos of flowers or celebrities. the state doesn t regulate that choice. but, she said, if the photographer opens a portrait photography business to the public, the business may not then deny to any person because of race, sex, national origin or other protected characteristic the full and equal enjoy of whatever services the business chooses to offer.
