The city of Louisville, Kentucky, will pay $800,000 in legal fees to photographer Chelsey Nelson who challenged the city's LGBTQ+ nondiscrimination law. Nelson, represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom, claimed the law could force her studio to create photographs and blogs celebrating a message about marriage she does not believe. The lawsuit was supported by the Justice Department during President Donald Trump's first term. In September, a U.S. District Judge Benjamin Beaton awarded Nelson $1 in damages and found that the ordinance unlawfully restricted her ability to publicly state she would not photograph same-sex weddings. The settlement ends litigation but leaves the ordinance intact.
