A lawsuit filed by a Madison photographer who feared prosecution by city and state authorities over her views on same-sex marriage ended Tuesday after her lawyers and government lawyers agreed at a hearing that her business isn’t subject to the laws that she was challenging as unconstitutional.
Amy Lawson, owner of Amy Lynn Photography Studio, had alleged that a city ordinance and a state law that prohibit public places of accommodation from discriminating against people on the basis of their sexual orientation, among other reasons, violate her right to free speech and freedom of religion, and asked that the ordinance and the law be declared unconstitutional.
