Videographers Sue State Because They Don’t Want to Film Gay Weddings

Law Newz reports:
A religious Minnesota couple who run a video production company are suing the state’s Attorney General and the Department of Human Rights Commissioner, claiming that the Minnesota Human Rights Act (MHRA) violates their First Amendment rights to free speech and religion.

Carl and Angel Larsen are religious Christians, and market their business as inspired by God. Their company, Telescope Media Group (TMG), started in 2008 and gets its name from the words of a theologian who said that “God created the universe to magnify His glory the way a telescope magnifies stars.” Their website says, “We want to magnify Christ like a telescope.” As mentioned in their complaint, they market themselves as aiming “to make God look more like He really is through our lives, business, and actions.”
