May society’s vindictive faggies soon learn that they are regarded as an obnoxious minority by the other 98%.

Progressivism is like cancer. It starts out small, grows and grows into a big tumor. It then send out malignant cells that start new little tumors, like these town councils, school boards, colleges that grow into big tumors and start the cycle over again until the host succumbs.

At least one of those characters is androgynous.

The city’s action is nothing more than small-mindec, mean-spirited bigotry and hate.

The problem is that the First Amendment states “Congress shall make no law...” which unfortunately doesn’t seem to address state and local laws. And ambiguity in a contract always benefits the party that did not draft it. In this case, the socialist left. There are not many federal laws that I can think of except the Johnson Amendment that infringe on the 1st Amendment, but there are plenty of state and local ones.

If only it had been written, “No law shall be made at any level of government...”

Time to end state-sanctioned marriage.

It seems to me the right doesn’t challenge those laws often enough.

Give it another three for four years, and the SCOTUS will be ready to receive them.

We can start taking it to the Left then, all the way up and down the government.

Yeah, after a little longer scrutiny, I agree.

“I wonder which of these females it was who took offense...”

Probably the ones on each end.

Politically Correct is BS. What happened to freedom of speech and property rights.

The city has no business getting involved in this at all. If some ugly leftist gay group wants to make a stink (nothing unusual there) then fine but this city is way out of line and should be sued for a very high sum of money.

Women, especially Lesbians unconsciously want men to dominate.
If it can’t be had here, we’ll import Sharia law, where real men take charge.

“Down with the old patriarchy, which is why we defend and support the new patriarchy”.

Which is why women were not allowed to vote , in the first place.

We’ve painted ourselves into a corner.

So, welcome Sharia law.

At least you’ll be able to practice polygamy, and beat your wives into submission.

Look at the bright side,

To the liberal, who is shocked, just shocked, that anyone might not support homosexual marriage, the punishment is to be deprived of earning a livelihood. That’s the mindset behind such policies as this one.
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
I really go by the theory that the state has no business in issuing marriage licenses to ANYONE.
Just another means of control.

Funny how the LIBS want to shove all this made up crap down our throats and expect to follow every whim that comes down the pike.

YET they do not want to allow law abiding citizens to exercise their right to concealed carry.

Granted the words may not be spoken out and laid out so the average idiot can understand them BUT the US Constitution gives ME a clearer right to carry than it does for Jim & Tim to marry or Jeffrey use the girls.

The city manager and the PIO are city employees reporting to the mayor and council. They’re not going to buck what they’re being told to do by the elected officials.

But his farm isn’t. What if the city decides to require afternoon prayers? Are they going to arrest every non-resident visitor who doesn’t pray in the afternoon at home?

Article states....”This drew a warning from ‘AN’ Official more than 20 miles away in East Lansing, Michigan.....

Gays and Lesbians are always looking to use ANY business to keep their agenda in the news....they deliberately make issues on purpose where there are none, thus opening their can of worms to spill all over the place.

Of course. The farm is 22 miles outside of the city.

I would boycott the farmer’s market if I lived in the area. Go directly to the farmers if the city is going to ban decent people.
