Yeah...well I’m no legal scholar, for sure.

But it seems to me the City can’t make that decision because then they are excluding based on religious belief.
You can’t on the one hand say “you can believe what you want” and then deny them their livlihood at a venue they pay for via taxes and rent because of those beliefs.

It would be totally different if they tried to say they would not sell to homosexuals. But they did not. The do however refuse to condone their “marriages” by renting their facilities to them. THEIR facilities, not East Lansing’s.

Hope they win...

Plus, in the First Amendment, we are guaranteed not just freedom of "belief", or even freedom of "worship" (within your church building or within your own skull)--- what is actually ruled out is any law "prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

Free exercise means walking the walk. It means the way you live your life, including your family life, your civic life, and your business life.
