Louisville Shells Out $800,000 for Unconstitutional Demands on Christian Photographer
28th March 2026
The city of Louisville, Kentucky, has agreed to pay $800,000 in attorney fees to settle a case with a Christian photographer who fought to protect her religious and free speech rights over the years of litigation.
Louisville ultimately spent a fortune to force Chelsey Nelson to photograph same sex marriages under its nondiscrimination laws.
When combined with its own litigation costs, the case likely cost the city and the courts millions to deny Nelson her constitutional rights.
What to they care? It’s not their personal money.
