As has been the case in most of ADF’s similar pro-discrimination cases — which they’ve nearly universally lost — these arguments are largely hogwash.

The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), the anti-LGBTQ hate group fighting for discrimination across the country, is back with a new lawsuit defending a business owner who wants to refuse service to same-sex couples.
The latest case involves a Michigan farmer who wants to refuse to host same-sex weddings while still participating in a farmer’s market in a city with nondiscrimination protections.
Stemming from Darwinist ideals of becoming better with evolution, the eugenics movement of the mid-20th century made it its mission to keep the sick, disabled, mentally ill or anyone else deemed inferior at the time (mostly minorities and criminals) from reproducing.
