The rights of a Michigan farmer were violated when a city barred him from a seasonal market because of his opposition to same-sex weddings at his Country Mill Farms orchard he often rented out for weddings. East Lansing's decision to exclude Steve Tennes and Country Mill Farms in 2017 "constituted a burden on plaintiffs' religious beliefs."

U.S. District Judge Paul Maloney said Monday, applying a U.S. Supreme Court precedent to the case, "Plaintiffs were forced to choose between following their religious beliefs and a government benefit for which they were otherwise qualified," Maloney said.

More proof that:
The only good communist is a dead communist...
It is our duty as citizens to help everyone be as good as possible...

If we are unwilling to do our duty, maybe we should not complain...

The left are such hypocrites.

They have a non-discrimination policy that they violate themselves by discriminating against someone because of religion.

It took 6 years for this to go to trial and get a ruling?

Thank God for this ruling. I have been praying for Mr. Tennes.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I remember this case.

The usual surrender monkeys were blaming the farmer.

This story also further highlights how liberty-minded folks can fight back against the authoritarian left, which seeks to use the state to force its ideological beliefs on the rest of us.

And it only took five years! But congratuations and blessings to the brave farmer and the same to the awesome Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF).
