"The backlash against Aaron and Melissa Klein, owners of the bakery, was severe. Gay rights groups launched protests and pickets outside the family’s store. They threatened wedding vendors who did business with the bakery. And, Klein told me, the family’s children were the targets of death threats. The family eventually had to close their retail shop and now operate the bakery out of their home." This just highlights the evil, no holes barred, viscous approach radical homosexuals take to anyone who dares to defy their crusade. They cannot and will not tolerate any dissension at all because they know they are doomed if they do. Liberal claptrap about "tolerance, compassion, open mindedness, diversity" and such are only reserved for their fellow travelers.

Gee...stupid me....here I thought that only ‘courts’ could render ‘guilty’ verdicts. Nothing but a bunch of frigging lifestyle perverts and Christian-hating Nazis.

“The investigation concludes that the bakery is not a religious institution under the law and that the business’ policy of refusing to make same-sex wedding cakes represents unlawful discrimination based on sexual orientation,”

This is interesting. The implication is that the fourth amendment only protects religion if you are a “religious organization.” Of course, that is absurd on the face of it. It’s why Hobby Lobby is winning their case (so far).

I think I am in the middle of a bad dream. But then I realize I am awake and am living a bad dream.

Why didn’t the bakery just do this:
Sure! You want a cake? Ok. Since it is not a common purchase, that’ll cost ya $1000.00, up front.”

How quick do you think they would have walked out?
The bakery would still be in business, and the nation would be the less to know.

South Park’s tolerance camp episode was more correct than anyone could have ever thought.

Someone needs to go to a liberal bakery here in Oregon and insist on a 2nd amendment birthday cake...

[Jacquerie]

The bakery has the supreme law of Oregon on its side.

Oregon Constitution, Bill of Rights:

Section 2. Freedom of worship. All men shall be secure in the Natural right, to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of their own consciences.

Section 3. Freedom of religious opinion. No law shall in any case whatever control the free exercise, and enjoyment of religeous [sic] opinions, or interfere with the rights of conscience.–

TAKE IT TO THE SCOTUS AND HAVE THIS LAW REPEALED!

[Utah Binger]

They should have called this place for advice. Silly little things called "tolerance and diversity" can easily be handled with a proper marketing approach. Unfortunately queer marriage is on hold in Utah.

It’s not about equality. It’s about punishing anyone who does not openly celebrate their perverted lifestyle.

Aaron Klein told me there will be no reconciliation and there will be no rehabilitation. “The investigation concludes that the bakery is not a religious institution under the law and that the business’ policy of refusing to make same-sex wedding cakes represents unlawful discrimination based on sexual orientation,” said Charlie Burr, a spokesman for the Bureau of Labor and Industries.

Freedom of religion exists for individuals, not institutions. The Soviets did the same thing, redefining everything as a group right, and nothing as an individual right.

Christian bakery guilty of violating civil rights of lesbian couple

Yeah, well...the US Government is guilty of violating the 1st amendment and the religious rights of Christian bakery.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Last August, Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian told The Oregonian, their desire is to rehabilitate businesses like the one owned by the Christian couple.

Send them to the reeducation camps!

The LGBT community is liable for threatening the safety and wellbeing of this family and charges should be brought against organizations representing LGBT’ers, for it is against the law to make bodily threats. All that need be shown is the quite visible and well documented hostility of the LGBT community against the community of faith, following their moral conviction.

Also, this board’s decision to punish this family is not a court decision and therefore this family has a right to take this board and their decision to a higher court and reverse the charge of civil rights under the Constitution of the United States. As courts are always overturning state propositions dully passed by the citizens of the state, this board and their decision too, should have to stand before a court and found unconstitutional.

Our liberties are diminishing at warp speeds these days. Thanks, homos.

Depends on how you define “guilty” and “civil rights”.

Forcing someone to celebrate someone's "marriage" in a way that is personally offensive to your religious beliefs is a violation of civil rights too. In at least one of the states where such a case came up, even the state itself did not recognize same sex marriages (yet the baker was charged with discrimination).

Can I force a muslim bakery to use pig lard in the product if I request it?

Can I compel a grocery store to make a birthday cake for Hitler (a dead conquering warlord on par with mad man Mohammed)?

Can you bake someone a cake and give them the frosting to write the text? A publisher cannot be forced to publish a book that offends them.

[a fool in paradise]

Another similar vein of lawsuits is against photographers. Yet there are photographers (and magazine articles that profile them) who specialize in same sex marriages. The reason? The families themselves are not always supportive or present so other arrangements of relevant people must be coordinated to present a "package" of photos rather than just random snapshots plus the ceremony.

Also, as an alternative lifestyle, they don't necessarily want something "conventional" or (if you are lesbian) representative of the "patriarchal" view of the world.

So homosexuals can specialize in same sex weddings but no one is permitted to cite moral arguments for specializing in traditional marriages?

The lavender mafia are bullies.

It’s not a surprise that you now “have a right” to buy a product from a private vendor, even when they don’t want to provide it... It’s not that different from forcing private physicians to perform involuntary services under MaobamaCare.
