A Michigan man who was barred from a farmer’s market because of his views on marriage is waiting to hear whether a federal court agrees with that policy.
Arguments in Country Mill Farms v City of East Lansing were held this week in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan in Kalamazoo.
“The main idea that we conveyed to the court this week was that the government cannot treat some people worse than others simply because it does not like their religious beliefs. But that’s really exactly what the city of East Lansing did to farmer Steve Tennes and his farm, Country Mill,” says attorney Rachel Csutoros of Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), the law firm representing Tennes.
“Steve responded honestly to a question that he received on his Facebook page on his religious beliefs, which was that marriage is between a man and a woman,” the attorney continues. “And when the city of East Lansing saw this, they crafted an ordinance really specifically to target Steve and his family to keep them from coming to the market. So the city of East Lansing punished him simply for his beliefs about marriage.”
The case began in 2016, when Tennes received that question and responded.
“We brought this case in May 2017, and the judge ruled in September of 2017 for a preliminary injunction so he could basically continue to go the farmers market until this case was resolved, which we just went to trial in,” Csutoros explains. “If the city of East Lansing officials have the power to target one person for their beliefs, they can target anyone.”
“You do not have to agree with Steve’s family views on marriage to support his freedom to live and work consistently with their faith,” the ADF attorney concludes.

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
