His business discriminates against gay people. Thus the metaphorical booting out of the metaphorical door.It's not okay. Thus the ordinance. Scumbag.
Don't try to dodge you fascist fuck. You get a hard on being an asshole to people over political disagreements.
This man did nothing to discriminate when selling his product, he got banned for his views.
Fuck off and Die you miserable sack of shit.
Except it's illegal, he never refused to sell to anyone. The city will pay through the nose for this colossal blunder.
Dumb ass leftists
He refused services at his farm, per his facebook post:
This past fall our family farm stopped booking future wedding ceremonies at our orchard until we could devote the appropriate time to review our policies and how we respectfully communicate and express our beliefs. The Country Mill engages in expressing its purpose and beliefs through the operation of its business and it intentionally communicates messages that promote its owners’ beliefs and declines to communicate messages that violate those beliefs. The Country Mill family and its staff have and will continue to participate in hosting the ceremonies held at our orchard. It remains our deeply held religious belief that marriage is the union of one man and one woman and Country Mill has the First Amendment Right to express and act upon its beliefs. For this reason, Country Mill reserves the right to deny a request for services that would require it to communicate, engage in, or host expression that violates the owners’ sincerely held religious beliefs and conscience. Furthermore, it remains our religious belief that all people should be treated with respect and dignity regardless of their beliefs or background. We appreciate the tolerance offered to us specifically regarding our participation in hosting wedding ceremonies at our family farm.
So, at least get the idea that it's about first amendment rights, though the guy himself doesn't even seem to understand that.
Again, how does that mean East Lansing can deny him a spot at their Farmer's Market as long as he follows the Jurisdiction's rules in the jurisdiction?
East Lansing Farmer’s Market 2017 Vendor Guidelines state that market vendors will embody the spirit of the market by complying with the City of East Lansing’s Civil Rights ordinances and the public policy against discrimination contained in Chapter 22 of the East Lansing City Code while at the market and as a general business practice.
