This is truly a question of ethics in both posts.

Do you stand by your ethics and moral values when it can affect your pocket book?

Also read the first post, and the reality is that it's easier to meet the clients, get a feel for them, then if you don't like the set-up, find a conflict on the calendar.
It's not our place to decide whether or not something is right or wrong: you get that choice when you do a job for free.
When you're being paid for it, the dollars dictate.

I read the first post and was conflicted. It doesnt bother me one way or another. I'm sure same sex marriages get alot of hate, but everyone who doesnt believe in same sex marriages hates the people involved. I just worry as a photographer of being forced to shoot something I dont want to.

That comment's a little harsh. Sean is at least being honest about the legitimate concerns and doubts he has. Many people say one thing and do another, because they want to look good. Sean's letting us in on his thought process, and I appreciate that.

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
