We had a thread about this farmer and his situation not long ago. He runs an operation at his farm that includes a big banquet room that is sometimes used for weddings, which he advertises for and promotes. The trouble he got in was when he did that advertising and promoting at the farmers market located in a town that had strict laws about discrimination. Hence, even though his farm and banquet operation was outside of the town, his operation at the farmers market drew attention and inclusion of his discriminatory operation under the town's laws as an extension of the business which fell under the jurisdiction of the town.
The Regressives say "tough shit". You should know better than to express your opinion. You will not be tolerated. You will be punished.
After all, this is America.
Just wait, it's coming. Liberals are never satisfied."traditional marriage" is a misnomer. Marriage between men and women is in-tune with the universe and common sense, while gay marriage is contrary.
Still waiting for a liberal to explain how the arguments for gay marriage don't apply to marriage between close relatives.

Of course you know this isn't about 'expressing your opinion', he clearly broke a city ordinance by discriminating against same sex couples. Take issue with that if you want to, but at least have a basic understanding of whats going on.

Jacques: Farmer gets boot for expressing his beliefs
How do we know when Weatherman is lying?
When he starts a thread.
The farmer is not prevented from selling his crop.
He was booted from the farmers market.
Not for expressing his beliefs- but because his farm refuses to comply with local laws.
I think he is being hypocritical.
He is complaining about being discriminated against whilst he is discriminating against others.
Laughable.
Because his primary purpose at the market was not just selling his crop. His farm is a tourist attraction and includes the rental of portions of his property and facilities for various events, including a banquet hall and wedding chapel or set up for outdoor weddings and events. The operation of the market was being used to promote these services to his business. Hence, gay couples inquiring about the use of the facility were being turned away and told that they could not use the facility for a wedding. That put the town in the middle of the awkward position since they had anti-gay discrimination clauses in the town laws. They would have to exempt the farmer from following the town laws and that would make them liable in any law suits against the farmer. In fact, the town would become the "big money" in such a lawsuit.Then why did they ban him from selling at the market? .....The town does not care whether the farmer supports gay marriage.
So if he refused to rent it out to a Nazi group, you would make him do it?The Regressives say "tough shit". You should know better than to express your opinion. You will not be tolerated. You will be punished.

No, he was selling a service and products related to the marriages at his facility. That is how he got in trouble. Patrons could sign up and make arrangements for use of the farmer's facility at his in town operation.We had a thread about this farmer and his situation not long ago.

But considering he doesn't discriminate at all when he's selling things in the town, how can they justify banning him?
They moved from banning for an action to banning for thought, as the action they object to is outside their juristiction.
dude they still don't get it do they? the true gulag.ZEIG HEIL!Tough titties. The yokel can peddle his wares plenty of other places.
Nice to see those who have no problem with sanctuary cities become so concerned about laws 'n stuff.Of course you know this isn't about 'expressing your opinion', he clearly broke a city ordinance by discriminating against same sex couples.

Interesting story. You weren't very honest in your OP as he was not excluded for expressing his beliefs but rather because he chose to discriminate by excluding members of the community from using his facilities/services. While he may have the right to exclude whomever he wants from his private business, wouldn't you think that the city also has a right to exclude his business from using their facilities/services based on his actions?YOU MIGHT NOT BE INTERESTED IN THE GLEICHSCHALTUNG, BUT THE GLEICHSCHALTUNG IS INTERESTED IN YOU!

Fascist.It's not okay. Thus the ordinance. Scumbag.Tough titties. The yokel can peddle his wares plenty of other places.
Discrimination is A-OK with you as long as you approve of it.
What a fucking scumbag you are.
because all council members vote as their constituents want. LOLOf course it beongs to the people. The ones that voted for the ordinance violated by the farmer.Did you notice the government assholes think Lansing property is their personal property when it in fact belongs to the people. Very typical of government fiefdoms.
Who the 6 godless pinhead liberals on the city council?
The assault on our Constitution and common sense was the result of twisted views by a corrupt and dumbed-down society. A society that lacks real causes & real problems.Homosex marriage discrimination was a false accusation. In life you have to meet standards, same as discrimination against Kindergartners from obtaining driver's licenses.
Homosexuals had THE EXACT SAME RIGHTS as heterosexuals, as they could marry the opposite sex if they chose to do so.
