Bakery Owners Refuse to Pay Gay Extortionists

[Ernie S.]

just look at your posts, talk about intellectual failings. You go right to hysterical and start insulting anyone who disagrees with you. fool

I called it earlier in the thread....he always does it. Tiresome and annoying

Y'all ARE talking about Paddy, aren't you? I put him on ignore months ago. Life is sweeter.

Because they made a cake for the dykes mother, that doesnt mean that they did not target that bakery, in fact it explains why they did, because they knew thay were christians and would not do it.

Any credible evidence to support your claim?

Clearly this is rhetorical.

Public accommodations laws are necessary, proper, and Constitutional – as authorized by the Commerce Clause, particularly with regard to sexual orientation; the ignorance and hate exhibited toward gay Americans in this thread alone is proof of that.

Public accommodations laws prohibiting discrimination against gay patrons in no way 'violate' religious liberty, and when business owners do discriminate against gay patrons, and are lawfully ordered to pay monetary damages or fines, those business owners have only themselves to blame, as the damages and fines in no way manifest as 'extortion.'

Let's see....

If the Kleins continue to proclaim their unwillingness to celebrate gay marriage in their business activities, they’re in violation of the order.

yeah, it's a gag order.

No, it's not a "gag order", businesses not being able to proclaim an intend to discriminate is the law in Oregon.

This will ultimately end when the government is sending Christians to re-education camps in Alaska.

Ultimately you'll need to seek out the mental health treatment you so clearly need.

It's a gag order. The Kleins no longer have a place of business. They can't advertise that their business will discriminate.

 

[Blackrook]

I guess gays are no longer interested in tolerance. Now they want domination.

In reality nothing like that will happen.

You can order goods. They no longer have a physical bakery.

 

[Preacher]

Good for them!!

The owners of an Oregon bakery are refusing to pay $135,000 in state-ordered damages to a same-sex couple who were denied service.

Melissa and Aaron Klein, owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa, cited religious beliefs when they refused to bake a wedding cake for Laurel and Rachel Bowman-Cryer more than two years ago.

The couple were awarded the damages in July by Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian for emotional suffering, saying the owners had violated the women’s civil rights by discriminating on the basis of their sexual orientation. They were also slapped with a gag order that prohibited them from speaking publicly about their refusal to participate in or bake wedding cakes for same-sex marriages.

Awesome! Good for them! What they gonna do? Throw them in jail over a civil case or steal their business that no longer exists?

Wrong on two counts. It isn't a gag order and they are still in business....besides suckering money from people like you.

 

[norwegen]

Damages were awarded for "emotional suffering." That idea alone should render the ruling illegitimate. Government is not to be an engine of compassion. Constitutionalism is rooted in experience and reason.
