Catholic Farmers Banned from Selling Fruit for Opposing Gay “Marriage” Win Lawsuit

Do you know that Barack Obama opposed anal marriage during the 2012 election?

Can you imagine getting from that to this in such a time frame?

Honestly, I think the cellphones have a lot to do with it.

People are handing over their brains to their cellphones.

Life Site News:

Catholic farmers can sell their fruits at a local market after a federal judge ordered East Lansing, Michigan to stop discriminating against the family for its opposition to homosexual “marriage.”

Judge Paul Maloney ruled that the city discriminated against Steve and Bridget Tennes of Country Mill Farms (CMF) when it passed a special law that excluded the family from selling at its farmers market.

The couple offered their venue for weddings but told an inquirer in 2016 that they would not let a homosexual couple have a same-sex “wedding” on the property. The farm is located in Charlotte, Michigan, 22 miles from East Lansing.

“The City did not invite CMF because it decided to rent its venue for weddings but would not host same sex weddings,” Judge Maloney wrote.

The city has an ordinance that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, but the way it was applied violated the First Amendment rights of the family farmers.

These kinds of suits need large financial consequences for the tyrannical jurisdictions. Otherwise they just keep doing it over and over again.

Hillary was also against gay marriage.

This just shows you the lengths this ilk will go, the things she will say and the lies she would tell to get elected.

Why anyone would approve of such an unnatural thing as same sex marriage is beyond me, but I know it happens. There’s no way any Christian minister should be forced into performing the ceremony however.

The suits need to be filed personally against the ones who punished these people.

They hide behind the umbrella of a city or county and do whatever they want with taxpayer money, knowing it will be funded.

Hold them personally accountable so they rethink their stand. No city should pay for a persons hatred for another group based on religion .

Agreed. To be honest the lawsuits won't result in official punishments. But it'd be nice to give them a taste of their own lawfare process-is-the-punishment medicine and make them squirm for a while.

What financial consequences. It’s tax money the idiots making the discriminatory actions are bureaucrats or local politicians they don’t pay the fines when they are handed down.
