"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.

Actually, the farm decided to not host ANY weddings after the incident took place, which was 2 years ago.
So not only are they not hosting gay weddings, they don't host hetero weddings either.
Basically the city is punishing them for something that happened 2 years ago.
The city is going to lose this.

I'd sue the city in federal court for religious discrimination

Your post is stupid.
If you read the article, the city said the farmers would not be allowed to sell their items because they did not allow gay weddings on their property.
This had nothing to do with discrimination as to people they sold food to at all.
The city was wrong period.

So, if a city passed a rule that ignorant bastards like you can be refused all services, including emergency medical, are you down with it?
A city cannot make rules that override the freedom of religion granted in the Constitution.

so gay rights are more important than their religious beliefs? Is this county not imposing on their right to practice religion ?
