Michigan Farmer Attacked By Government Because He Doesn’t Support Same Sex Marriage

Daily Signal-

A farmers market and Facebook posts have opened a new front in courtroom battles over religious freedom.

It started when Steve Tennes, who owns a 120-acre farm in Charlotte, Michigan, expressed his traditional view about marriage on the farm’s Facebook page.

This drew a warning from an official more than 20 miles away in East Lansing, Michigan, that if Tennes tried to sell his fruit at the city’s farmers market, it could incite protests.

No one showed up to protest that August day last summer, though, and Tennes continued selling organic apples, peaches, cherries, and pumpkins at the seasonal market until October, as he had done the six previous years.

Nevertheless, East Lansing moved earlier this year to ban Tennes’ farm, the Country Mill, from participating in the farmers market when it resumes June 4. The city cited its human relations ordinance, an anti-discrimination law that includes sexual orientation.

So Tennes and his wife sued the city for religious discrimination.

  1. On our current path, traditional hetero marriage will be soon be wrong, sodomizers right, having babies wrong, killing babies right, praising God wrong, disrespecting / disavowing God right, being fit bad, being fat good, killing terrorists bad, being a terrorist good.

    Belay that, we’re there.

  2. I attribute this kind of crap to His royal arseness obamio the clown and his tranny “wife.”

    We punish you for your thoughts and actions even if no one else cares. What “pub(l)ic” good are they serving?

    Hans, I agree but we no longer need nicknames for this traitor. Obama is the most vile word in any language, associated with every disgusting human behavior ever carried out or imagined.

  4. I wonder what the city official would have done had the farmer been black? It’s a serious question in that I suspect the city official who started this action would have dropped it rather then offend the black community as both the gay community and the black community are, essencially, potected classes. In any event I hope this comes up in the next local elections to see what that community as a whole thinks about this sort of government sactioned religeous discrmination.

  5. You must embrace them or you will face their wrath. That is what they want. They don’t want tolerance. They want 100% lock step embracing of their leftists views. Being silent will not be tolerated either. Silence is a sign of disapproval. You WILL embrace them….

  6. Watch out, Hans. Joan Rivers made a joke about Obama being “gay” (that is, homosexual) and his wife being a tranny, and in two weeks Ms. Rivers was dead under unusual circumstances.

    By the way, I try not to call homosexuals “gay” because none of them seem very happy.

  7. Okay, so if Mohamhead and his four clitordectified wives decide to have a goat/brothel farm which happens to be in a lovely, pastoral setting suitable for weddings, would the goverment go after Mo if he declined to host homo weddings? 🤔 I bet not.
