Comprehensive list of all "non-marginalized" communities:
-- White straight males (NOTE: White women of any and all gender and sexual identities are highly marginalized)
-- Christians |

Date: June 23rd, 2018 10:07 AM Author: Chartreuse forum Louise Melling arguing that expressive photographers must concede free speech rights when they involve lesbians and gays.
https://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/19/us/weighing-free-speech-in-refusal-to-photograph-ceremony.html
There are constitutional values on both sides of the case: the couple’s right to equal treatment and Ms. Huguenin’s right to free speech. I asked Louise Melling, a lawyer at the American Civil Liberties Union, which has a distinguished history of championing free speech, how the group had evaluated the case.
Ms. Melling said the evaluation had required difficult choices. Photography is expression protected by the Constitution, she said, and Ms. Huguenin acted from “heartfelt convictions.”
But the equal treatment of gay couples is more important than the free speech rights of commercial photographers, she said, explaining why the A.C.L.U. filed a brief in the New Mexico Supreme Court supporting the couple.
“This is a business,” Ms. Melling said. “At the end of the day, it sells services for photographing weddings. This is like putting up a sign that says ‘Heterosexual Couples Only.’ ” |

When you openly concede that you are only willing to represent the opinion of certain groups, I think that hurts free speech, not helps it. |
