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.

As long as the leftists can appeal, the good guys will never win in the end. They will find the narrowest of rulings/laws to punish this farmer. Or they will just sidestep the courts and find another way to punish him.

The judge’s ruling represents a critical victory for religious freedom,
an embedded right that progressives have been attacking for years.

The ruling could set a precedent b/c it applied a U.S. Supreme Court precedent to the case:
“Plaintiffs were forced to choose between (a) following their beliefs and (b) a government benefit
for which they were otherwise qualified,” Judge Maloney said.

Further highlights how liberty-minded Christians can fight back against the authoritarian left
to punish people for exercising.......or merely articulating their beliefs.......ala Trump.
