Contending For Religious Liberty: Steve and Bridget Tennes

Steve and Bridget Tennes are farmers from the East Lansing area of Michigan.  After simply posting on Facebook their sincerely held religious belief that marriage is between a man and a woman, the city of East Lansing expelled the Tennes from selling their produce at the local farmer's market, claiming that the Tennes are in violation of the city's anti-discrimination laws protecting homosexuals.  Apparently city officials from East Lansing believe that...

IT IS ILLEGAL TO BELIEVE THE TRADITIONAL CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE ON MARRIAGE.

With help from Alliance Defending Freedom, the Tennes are suing for religious discrimination, which the city is actually guilty of.

Not only does the First Amendment protect the liberty to exercise one's religious beliefs at work, but it surely protects the freedom to believe, and the freedom of speech!  Wedding vendors, for example, have the inalienable right refuse to participate in events or promote messages that violate their sincerely held religious beliefs, and it is the government's essential duty to protect that right.

This is another example of the war on religious liberty in America today; another example of why Christians must get involved in politics; another example of why we must vote against city, state, and federal laws that prohibit "discrimination" against gays and transgenders.  Why?  The new definition of "discrimination" outlaws Christianity.
