Alan Dershowitz to Sue West Tisbury Farmers Market Following Dispute with Pierogi Stand
August 8, 2025 - 19:31
Lawyer Alan Dershowitz has announced plans to file a lawsuit against the West Tisbury Farmers Market after a recent incident involving the Good Pierogi stand. Dershowitz claims that he was denied service due to his political views and the high-profile clients he represents. This confrontation has sparked a heated debate about free speech and discrimination in public spaces.
The incident reportedly escalated when the chef at the pierogi stand accused Dershowitz of "misgendering" during their exchange. Dershowitz asserts that this refusal to serve him is a violation of his rights, arguing that vendors should not discriminate based on political beliefs. He believes that all customers should be treated equally, regardless of their affiliations or opinions.
This controversy has drawn significant attention, raising questions about the intersection of personal beliefs and business practices in community markets. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how this legal battle will impact local businesses and the broader discourse around free expression.
