Bakery Owners Refuse to Pay Gay Extortionists

[Zander]

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.

A court never ordered it. A commission did

Oh they can civily disobey all they want. What happens next? Are you saying that Oregon's PA law is unjust?

 

[Zander]

The fascist "gag order" is political overreach at its worst.

Ok, what happens to any person or business who doesn't pay a state commission's fines?

I'm sure that'll do it. State'll just forget about it now of course and the gay guy'll go do other things.

Did you feel the same way when years before Oregon used the same PA law to fine a business over 300K for refusing to serve a Christian couple?

Great point. Petty bureaucrooks have no business extorting fines.

If you think that's civil disobedience you are ignorant.

Go right ahead. I don't believe anyone is stopping you.

 

[Dan Daly]

I'm gonna take trip to Oregon, find me a gay baker, and have them bake me a wedding cake that says "the religious sacrament of marriage is between a man and a woman". Think I'll get a $135k pay day when they refuse?

Your point? An authorized commission has the same powers as a court.
