Cue the liberal outrage.
Federal District Judge for the U.S District Court for the Western District of Michigan Paul Lewis Maloney just dealt the LGBTQ+ community a massive blow.
He dared to rule in favor of a business owner that does not want to serve same-sex couples.
Big Win
Believe it or not, there are some people whose religious beliefs make them uncomfortable offering their services to same-sex couples.
Now, if I am someone in that group and the business owners tell me they don’t want my business, I find someone else who does.
That is not how this has been working, as business owners all over the country are being taken to court over this issue.
That would include Country Mills Farms, who had been excluded from the local farmer’s market after denying service to a same-sex couple.
The Judge ruled, “The city’s decision to exclude Country Mill Farms from the 2017 East Lansing Farmer’s Market constitute a burden on plaintiff’s religious beliefs.
“Plaintiffs were forced to choose between following their religious beliefs and a government benefit for which they were otherwise qualified.”
The Alliance for Defending Freedom, a conservative activist group that backed Country Mill Farms owner Steve Tennes’ lawsuit, responded, “After Tennes posted on Facebook that he follows the Catholic church’s teachings about marriage, including when he participates in weddings at his family’s farm, city officials enacted policy to prohibit Tennes and Country Mill Farms from participating in the city’s farmer’s market.”
Senior counsel for the Alliance for Defending Freedom, Kate Anderson, also chimed in.
She stated, “Steve and his family-run Country Mill Farms happily serve all customers as a valued vendor at East Lansing farmer’s market, and he’s grateful he can continue his longtime partnership with the city and its residents.”
