(Worthy News) – An appeals court has ruled in favor of Christian filmmakers who had been told by Minnesota officials that they could not refuse to make videos for same-sex weddings on the grounds of religious objections.
A three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit decided last Friday that the Minnesota Human Rights Act violated the First Amendment rights of Carl and Angel Larsen of Telescope Media Group.
The decision largely overturned a lower court ruling against the Larsens and remanded their request for an injunction against the MHRA back to the district court level. [ Source: Christian Today (Read More…) ]
