With the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in favor of a Colorado graphic artist who argued making wedding websites for same-sex couples violates her First Amendment rights, Cameron is now weighing in on a similar case in Louisville.
Photographer Chelsey Nelson went to court in 2019, arguing the city's Fairness Ordinance ran afoul of her constitutional rights. She said she should be allowed to refuse her services to same-sex couples, an opinion backed up by a federal judge in 2020.
But Louisville appealed.
Now, with the recent high court ruling seeming to affirm that original decision, Cameron is asking Mayor Greenberg to drop an appeal against Nelson — calling it an "exercise in futility."
WDRB reports Greenberg's office has said it will continue to fight the ruling, saying it's necessary to make Louisville a "inclusive city."
