Victory: Judge allows Christian farmers banned from city market to return for now
In granting the preliminary injunction, Judge Maloney predicted that Tennes' lawsuit would prevail. “On the evidence before this Court, the City amended its Vendor Guidelines and then used the changes to deny Country Mill’s vendor application. There exists a substantial likelihood that Plaintiffs will be able to prevail on the merits of their claims for speech retaliation and for free exercise of religion."
“It’s an excellent recognition of what the Constitution requires," Anderson commented. "The Constitution ensures everyone the right to speak freely and to make their own decisions about what they believe."
Maloney explained that the city took an “adverse action” directly because of Tennes’ religious views. "Considering the totality of the circumstances, a factfinder could infer a connection between the plaintiffs' expressions about their religious beliefs on Facebook and the city's ultimate decision to deny Country Mill's vendor application."
On Sunday, Tennes returned to the farmer's market, which runs through October. Besides many customers purchasing his organic apples and cider, a few homosexuals stood next to Tennes' booth to protest.
