Meet Alex Harper, a wedding photographer with 15 years of experience and a passport full of stamps from around the world. Recently, Alex decided to express his support for the Supreme Court’s ruling on same-sex marriage by updating his company’s Facebook profile with a rainbow filter and sharing a meme featuring various couples, including a same-sex couple sharing a kiss, captioned “All we see is love.”
However, not everyone appreciated this gesture. One client was clearly upset and sent a message stating, “My fiancé and I believe in traditional marriage and don’t want our money supporting anything else.” Oh, the irony! With same-sex marriage now legal in all states, are they ready to boycott every vendor that dares to support equality, from bakers to florists? Good luck with that!
The couple must have missed the fine print in their contract, which clearly stated that retainers are non-refundable. But Alex had a different plan in mind. He responded to their complaint in a way that quickly went viral: “Regarding your retainer, I hope you’ll read the contract you signed stating that it is non-refundable. But don’t worry, I’m not keeping it! I’ve decided to donate your $1500 to GLAD, a nonprofit that advocates for gay rights.”
Alex even took the time to black out the couple’s names and photos, showing that even amidst intolerance, there’s room for kindness. It’s a classic case of instant karma—turning a negative into a positive! In an interview with Buzzfeed News, Alex emphasized, “Everyone deserves their ‘happily ever after,’ and we all want the same thing: love and equal rights under the law.”
After the post gained traction, the couple reached out again, asking Alex to remove the post, expressing their disgust. His response was nothing short of brilliant: “You’ll be happy to know that Facebook offers settings to block or hide things that offend you.” A round of applause for Alex, please!
