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.


You, and those who agree with you, are wrong. And here's why.


Let's say that instead of this being a gay issue, it was simply a health issue.

Let's say the city had an ordinance that said that anyone who had at any time failed a health and safety inspection couldn't sell food products at the farmer's market.

Then let's say this place DID fail a safety inspection in another county and this city said "nope can't sell food here"

Is the city wrong? Of course not.

So , stop confusing the issue. where the business is located is irrelevant. This is a simple matter of religious discrimination by the city. It's simple the city ordinance says in effect "if your religion says X you can not do Y" I'd sue their asses off on that basis.

Ah the ole "Let's all pretend we are being discriminated against as Christians to argue that we can discriminate against gay people" argument. Gotta love that one.

Worst straw man argument I have ever read.
You analogy is terrible.

The farmers growing and selling food to ANYONE regardless of their race, sex, religion, or deviancy has nothing to do with the second issue that they were banned from performing their primary function(which was growing and selling food)

The second unrelated issue to their growing and selling food only dealt with to their use of their property.
