Business can't sell blueberries unless it affirms gay marriage

Even though their farm/wedding chapel is in a completely different jurisdiction from the market where they have sold blueberries for years (not that it should matter):

So ridiculous.

Is there a separate entity that controls certain rules and specifics of who can be a vendor or part of the farmers market? Surely they aren't telling them they can't sell to anyone privately

Are the required to harvest and sell gay blueberries too?

I wholeheartedly disagree with the City banning a business over something completely legal, but the fact that the farm is not within the city is pretty irrelevant. Not sure why that point was brought up.
Also, the headline to this thread is incredibly misleading/click bait. The business can sell their blueberries, just not at the City's FM.

"It was brought to our attention that The Country Mill's general business practices do not comply with East Lansing's Civil Rights ordinances and public policy against discrimination as set forth in Chapter 22 of the City Code and outlined in the 2017 Market Vendor Guidelines, as such, The Country Mill's presence as a vendor his prohibited by the City's Farmer's Market Vendor Guidelines," read a letter the city sent to the family.
Local government made a rule. They aren't following it so they can't use the farmers market to sell their produce. They can choose to follow the rule or sell their produce elsewhere. If you don't like the local ordinances that your city creates, you can fight to have them changed or move to a place that does things differently.

This is not a hard work around. Just say you believe in it and mock them in private like the rest of us.

Meanwhile, the ACLU is trying to prevent FGM from being prohibited by law in Maine. What a clown world

They use publically funded roads and bridges to transport their blueberries don't they? So follow the laws or else you don't get to profit off of our nation's infrastructure.
Refusing to do business with gays just because they are gay is the same as refusing to do business with blacks just because they are black.
No one is saying you have to go and get gay married yourself, or that you aren't allowed to think it is disgusting. BUT you can't and should not be able to deny someone's business based solely on their sexual orientation.

You will be made to care

Cool. I assume the city is also refusing to do business with all Catholic, Muslim, Baptist and other religious entities, including hospitals, schools, homeless shelters, soup kitchens, abused women's homes, etc.

In other words, they can't sell a fruit unless they affirm that a fruit can marry a fruit.
