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.



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.

I don't think you know what a straw man is

None of this is actually important. The city has an ordinance that has gays as a protected class. The city owns and runs the farmers market and requires all of its vendors to abide by its ordinances. The farm doesn't, so the city denied their permit for the farmer's market.

The only case for the farm here is whether or not the city can deny them a permit based off an ordinance in which they do not fall under. I contend that they fall under the ordinances once they become a vendor for the city.
