Christian videographers in legal battle to not film same-sex marriages
A US Christian couple who own a video production company have filed an appeal against a law that has forced them to create films for same-sex weddings . Carl and Angel Larsen, from Minnesota , and their company, Telescope Media Group, filed an appeal on Friday to challenge a state law that allows the government to control the stories they tell. According to ADF International, which is legally representing the couple, the law allows Minnesota to punish the Larsens with fines and jail time "if they create wedding films consistent with their Christian faith while declining to create wedding films promoting contrary views". ADF added that they asked a federal district court to get rid of the law while their case proceeds. However, the court denied that request and instead ruled in favour of the state's motion to dismiss the lawsuit, which was filed in 2016. The Larsens have asked the US Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit to reinstate their lawsuit. ADF Senior Counse
