A wedding venue in Michigan was found to have violated one of Grand Rapids's human rights ordinances after the owners refused to host LGBT ceremonies because of their religious beliefs.
"We believe in Jesus and are so blessed by his calling in our lives to start The Broadway Avenue!" Nick and Hannah Natale say on Broadway Avenue LLC's website.
According to a local report, complaints began after the owner made an Instagram post about the decision against hosting LGBT weddings in July. An investigation into the business was subsequently launched.
The investigation found that "Broadway Avenue LLC adopted, enforced, or employed a policy or requirement, or published, posted, broadcasted, or distributed an advertisement, sign notice, or solicitation which discriminates, or suggested, supported, or affirmed discrimination, in the provision of public accommodations," per the report.
After the company was deemed in violation of the city ordinance, it was issued a citation on Sept. 30, to which it reportedly has 10 days to respond.

Outrageous.
Civil rights violation of Christian beliefs
How did sexual perversion get cast as a ‘human right’ ?
The rhetorical question would be why don’t mentally insane LGBTQP couples ever target Muslim venues or places of worship to host weddings and thus defraud them?
Here we go again. Lavender Gestapo on the march.
This question keeps popping up in SCOTUS. They keep handing it back to the lower courts unresolved.
It’s a wedding venue
If or can’t get legally married then how is it discriminatory?
The correct response is:
“GFY”

“The rhetorical question would be why don’t mentally insane LGBTQP couples ever target Muslim venues or places of worship to host weddings and thus defraud them”
No idea, maybe ask ‘Charlie Hebdo’
The lgbtq+-/:(’s can start their own businesses for this.
I would countersue that the business was specifically and deliberately targeted because they knew they were bible believing Christians and are attempting to deprive them of their religious rights to live their faith in all areas of their lives
IE attempting to force them to compartmentalize their lives and forcing them to affirm and support things that they KNOW go against their Christian beliefs.
IE forcing Christians into the closet.
Its not against the law to live your Christian faith, and one aspect of it is you don’t encourage and support behavior your faith says is immoral and damnable behavior.
If someone wanted them to host a pro-adult-child sex affair, they can’t say no?
If someone wants their services for a pro-abort event they can’t say no?
If someone wants to host an event that glorifies violence and murder, they can’t say no?
If someone wants to have a satanic wedding they can’tsay no?
They sure as hell can. Business people are not indentured servants.
Artists who paint some commissioned art don’t paint things they don’t want to paint. Plenty of businesses turn down doing things all the time depending on if they want to do what is proposed.
I’d countersue them into oblivion.
“The company was deemed in violation of the city ordinance.” Evil. Well, anyone can play that game. For example, the Grand Rapids’s human rights ordinances does not support the rights of goats to get married and should be abolished.
sexual perverts invented it out of thin air
By striking down the Texas sodomy laws
“Investigated” is the new word for “harassed”.
That would be more than I could handle. And, lawsuits would ensue.
The “doesn’t affect you” crowd at it again.
Perhaps we should look at the root cause of all these attacks and focus on it. Yeah, it would be a gargantuan undertaking, but repealing the Civil Rights Act would snuff out this unconstitutional garbage at its root.
But not a RINO would be for it.
