Letitia James, the Attorney General of New York, agreed to a settlement with a Christian wedding photographer over same-sex weddings, ending four years of litigation. The consent decree was signed and approved by the district court on Tuesday, July XX.

In 2021, photographer Emilee Carpenter challenged New York’s anti-discrimination laws, claiming they violated her 1st and 14th Amendment rights by forcing her to photograph same-sex weddings against her religious beliefs. She argued that the law violated her religious beliefs by forcing her to participate in ceremonies she objects to on religious grounds.

As part of the settlement, the state agreed not to pursue charges and to pay $XXXXXXX in attorneys’ fees.
