Oregon has demanded them to pay $135,000 fine to the lesbian couple...and also to shut the fuck up and never talk about the case.....
In January 2014, the agency found the Kleins unlawfully discriminated against the couple because of their sexual orientation. In April, McCullough recommended they pay $75,000 to Rachel and $60,000 to Laurel. In order to reach the total amount, $135,000, Rachel and Laurel submitted a long list of alleged physical, emotional and mental damages they claim to have experienced as a result of the Kleins’ unlawful conduct. Examples of symptoms included "acute loss of confidence,” "doubt,” "excessive sleep,” "felt mentally raped, dirty and shameful,” "high blood pressure,” "impaired digestion,” "loss of appetite,” "migraine headaches,” "pale and sick at home after work,” "resumption of smoking habit,” "shock” "stunned,” "surprise,” "uncertainty,” "weight gain” and "worry.” also if you feel like it please donate to the Kleins... |

That right (and the Tenth Amendment) went away in 1964: ----------------------------------- The Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Pub.L. 88–352, 78 Stat. 241, enacted July 2, 1964) is a landmark piece of civil rights legislation in the United States[5] that outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.[6] It ended unequal application of voter registration requirements and racial segregation in schools, at the workplace and by facilities that served the general public (known as "public accommodations"). Powers given to enforce the act were initially weak, but were supplemented during later years. Congress asserted its authority to legislate under several different parts of the United States Constitution, principally its power to regulate interstate commerce under Article One (section 8), its duty to guarantee all citizens equal protection of the laws under the Fourteenth Amendment and its duty to protect voting rights under the Fifteenth Amendment. The Act was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on July 2, 1964, at the White House. The bill was called for by President John F. Kennedy in his civil rights speech of June 11, 1963,[7] in which he asked for legislation "giving all Americans the right to be served in facilities which are open to the public—hotels, restaurants, theaters, retail stores, and similar establishments" ---------------------------- What could possibly go wrong with such a noble intent? |

This ruling by Oregon Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian would appear to violate article 1 sections 3 and 8 of the Oregon constitution as well as both the freedom of speech (artistic expression in making the cake) and their freeedom to exercise their religious rights in the 1st amendment of the US Constitution.
Perhaps it's time for religious people everywhere to petition the Oregon and US the departments of justice. Probably nothing will be done but it might let someone know they have pissed off a majority of the people. |

Yet the homos here say it will be different when churches refuse to let them marry in the church, they will never sue

Just make the cake, spit in the batter out back where they cant see you and keep your mouth shut! The new AMERIKA

This quest for inclusion will lead to more division. Some businesses will necessarily choose to curtail their services or close altogether. It's a communist wet dream. And the fools in this case are just puppets looking to cash in.

A good balance would be to have the above apply to standard goods that are available to anyone who shops in a retail establishment. Custom items like wedding cakes require individual artistry and expression, and the maker should be able to decide what projects he takes and who he works for. I forsee bakers eliminating custom cakes and providing several standard designs. Want a custom cake and they will sell you a decorating kit. |

And there are those who will tell you that it will never happen...............until it happens and they search for an excuse to explain why it happened

"Excessive sleep, weight gain, lack of motivation"
Sweetheart, you're just a fat lazy fuck.....it wasn't the lack of cupcakes that did that to you. |

why does OP hate freedom?
this is freedom, embrace it!!!! Just think of the alternatives, christians out there baking cup cakes, with no decent restraint. I am going to donate to the rand paul campaign just to calm down my freedom boner. |

To make myself feel good about this, I just remember the wisdom of Arfcom's freedom-loving (edit: for those with whom they agree), self-mislabeled "libertarian" set:
Gay marriage does not affect ANYONE who is not gay. Gay marriage neither breaks my leg nor picks my pocket. Gay couples just want acceptance, they do not want anyone to change the way they live. Gay marriage does not have any impact on anyone's religious beliefs. There. All better. |

I must love gay marriage
not loving gay marriage is the mind-killer. not loving gay marriage is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my not loving gay marriage. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the not loving gay marriage has gone there will be nothing. Only I (and some lawsuits) will remain. |

How were the lesbos damaged? Are these folks the only cake makers in Oregon? Why would the lesbo couple want to spend their money at a business that doesn't support their gay beliefs? This is BS, in your face, vindictive action on the part of the gay community!!

I'm hazy on the details. Did they refuse to bake anything for homosexuals, or did they refuse to bake a cake for a homosexual wedding?
I have no illusions that I or anyone else is perfect. As a baker, I know that some of my customers may be cheating on their spouses. so be it. Doing business with that knowledge is one thing. But I would refuse the request of anyone who asked me to bake a cake that said "Adultery is great!" which to me is immoral on religious grounds, yet to others may not be. I would refuse to make something stating "Alcohol is great!" on religious grounds even though I know many of my customers may drink. It's one thing to do business knowing that people are sinners. It's another to do business that asks me to approve of any given sin. |

I have products that cost $5 but are priced at $10,000.00. .Gov says I have to sell it but not what I have to price it at.
But there are coupons available that bring the price down to $10. I can direct you to the Pastor that holds the coupon book. |

Looks like they need to build a Killdozer disguised as a giant cake.
That list of "hurt feels" is a great example of fucked our "justice" system is. |

Nope, Not paying. Would be making the news in a way I cant explain here.

Yea, i get that...just stupid, the gays are pushing their beliefs and winning, where the shop owners arent allowed to follow their convictions and are fined because of it. Cant the shop counter sue for the exact same reasons, the gays pushed their agenda based on religion and caused undo stress and "mental rape" of the shop owners? Quoted:

When they went back for a gay wedding cake, they were told the bakery couldn't make those. So, the lesbians weren't denied service, they were trying to order a product that the bakery doesn't produce. |
