This is also a violation of the 1st amendment’s freedom to peacefully assemble clause.

At some point there must be consequences for judicial tyranny. Just saying..
There were NO damages, just buy your cake somewhere else.
My "buy American" beliefs have taken a real beating over the past six years. If it means supporting this, I will buy foreign instead.
With all due respect to mom & pop, as a consequence of both the parents of the judge and those of the attorneys representing Klein, likewise for those of the Klein’s, not making sure that their children were taught about 10th Amendment-protected state powers versus constitutionally protected rights, the Klein’s attorneys are evidently not able to use the following simple argument to protect their clients from the pro-gay activist judge.
Since the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect so-called gay “rights” like gay marriage, by using a state law based on a constitutionally unprotected right to trump a constitutionally enumerated protection, 1st Amendment-protected religious expression in this case, the state of Oregon is in violation of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment (14A). Section 1 prohibits the states from making policies which unreasonably abridge constitutionally enumerated rights.
Also note that regardless that constitutionally ignorant, pro-gay activist judges hide behind 14A's Equal Protections clause to attack the Christian faith by legislating gay “rights” from the bench, the Supreme Court had clarified in Minor v. Happersett that 14A added no new protections to the the Constitution. It only strengthens those protections which the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect.
“3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnishes additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had [emphasis added].” —Minor v. Happersett, 1874.
Again, since the states had not amended the Constitution to expressly protect gay “rights” before 14A was ratified, 14A didn’t automatically create such rights as misguided, institutionally indocrinated judges seem to be claiming.
Like rust, homofascist totalitarians never sleep.
Seems there’s more wrong with queers than just their sexual habits - they’re just mean, spiteful and vindictive people.
If now isn’t the time for resistance then it will never come.
Not sure what else to say.
Yep. This is my country and that is my constitution and NOBODY is using them against me.
If it ain’t now, then when?
I’d tell that judge to throw me to the effin lions if he wants, but I’m a Christian, and I am not going to bake a queer wedding cake!
What are the lumps on top, polyps?
Well, let’s each send the bakery $ 5. A million or so of these kind of reminders will tell the State of Oregon a lot more than yelling at the TV will. Anyone have the address of Melissa Klein’s bakery?
I lived there for four years in the late 70's & early 80's. Even then, it was a real bastion for liberals escaping California and infesting their northern neighbor with their queer filth, having already ruined California. It has only gone further left since then.
Muslim bakeries will have to provide kosher products. Can’t wait.
What would John Galt do?
ovo-vegans are not a protected class
Tolerance and compassion are traits liberals only reserve for other liberals.
His “fine” will be the emphatic support of the American people who oppose “discrimination in all forms” even if they cannot understand the meaning of “discrimination”.
Oddly though in land area OR is “conservative”, but too few people live in the eastern parts to make it competitive. So OR will be a permanent failure.
