GR venue will continue ban on same-sex marriages

A West Michigan wedding venue will continue to not allow same-sex marriages despite a ruling from the Michigan Supreme Court on Thursday.

The court ruled businesses cannot discriminate based on sexual orientation or gender identity, however David Kallman, a lawyer for the venue, says the owners religious beliefs are also protected under the first amendment.

Broadway Avenue opened its doors this month and received attention on social media after a post detailed their policy on same-sex marriages.
