My guess is City Market is a pseudo private company which acts private or muny as it suits their purpose.
They may be able to force the issue because of contracts and covenants. He should prepare to move.

"As a public marketplace, we find it unacceptable, and this is very much an equal accommodations establishment."

If it is very much equal accomodations, why are they treating the just cookies with such unequal accomodations? /sarc/

I remeber now some establishments are more equal than others.

I just checked, and I don’t think Just Cookies has a case. First, the mayor should shut up and quit saying it’s a city venue because it isn’t anymore. It is a 501(c)(3) non-profit with a board of directors, half of which are appointed by the mayor. This store rents space in the market. Unfortunately, I think the market is fully within its rights to kick out this store. Don’t like the pro-gay terms, don’t have your store there.

But that doesn’t mean that we don’t still have a clear case where non-homosexuals are persecuted by homosexuals. It’s all the worse that such persecution is perfectly legal.

OTOH, if the gays want to frame it as a rights issue, the owners could frame their side as a religious rights issue, then it could get interesting.

seeking rainbow-colored cupcakes for their National Coming Out Day. A spokesman for Mayor Greg Ballard said city officials are conducting an investigation into a bakery, Just Cookies, which declined to take the order.

Hmmm...

"Whatever this gentleman's personal views are, it cannot interfere with the providing of a service or allowing someone to buy their goods," said an official of the local government.

What happened to the right to deny servicve to anybody? Is that illegal now?
