This photographer gave the best reply to an anti-gay marriage client
Last Friday was an historic day for the US ruled on same sex marriage, effectively legalising it in all 50 states.
Social media lit up with rainbows, photos and messages of joy and support. As you might have seen, many people put a rainbow filter over their profile pictures on Facebook and Twitter.
And that's what Clinton Brentwood Le, a professional photographer in Florida, decided to do with his official Facebook profile picture.
And while many sent messages of support, one prospective client took offence and mailed him to say they would no longer be hiring him due to his support for same sex marriage.
"We would just like to inform you we will NOT be using your services for out [sic] wedding. My fiancé and I support traditional marriage between a man and a woman and don’t want our money going to places that supports [sic] otherwise."
And Lee responded in the classiest way possible.
"Wow, I’m not really sure what to say here. I would say this disappoints me, but I actually find this to be a good thing because our company now would now not like to work with you as well.
"It’s not that because you have a different view from us, but it’s because, since you don’t like an support gay marriage, no one else should be able to have it. That’s like me not liking broccoli, and demanding that everyone else in the world should not have broccoli either! If you’re not in favor of gay marriage that’s fine, don’t marry a woman.
"Personally, I was taught not to judge others and to love everyone else. So I will try not to judge you here and say anything more as to my opinion of you."
He also said that he would be donating their non-refundable deposit of $1500 to GLAAD, which supports gay rights.
Lee's response has been shared more than 10,000 times on Facebook and has been liked over 60,000 times.
