Why are people like Rush and others not helping the Kleins out? What we need is a boycott, or somebody flying out to Oregon who can draw attention to this.

You’re right. The logic that the funds were for something illegal but yet the Klein’s are (hopefully) going to get this “illegal money” doesn’t wash. This was going to be another embarrassing scenario to the LGBT facists like Memories Pizza was. They couldn’t have that.

It’s a mistake to raise money for them at this time. It will only go to the lezzies to pay the judgment. Bankrupt the judgment first. Then organize a fund raiser.

I want to know if the pair who sued are friends with the sweet shop owners who pulled the trigger on the Go Fund Me page. It’s just too close to be coincidental.

Clearly GoFundMe is discriminating. Hopefully they get sued for 10X more money that they have.

It’s time for Christians to become Old Testament warriors and to stop turning the other cheek. As the Methodist minister Milus “Bushwhacker” Johnston declared upon leaving his pulpit to lead a band of Confederate guerrillas, “Boys, I have come to the conclusion that God never yet made a man to be slobbered on by dogs!”

Clearly gofu$*me is populated by anti religious bigots. It should be avoided, denounced and folks should inform their friends and families of the extent of the religious bigotry that is at the core of that company. If there is another option for their services, use it.

This case has been in the news for a long time. Your bizarre conspiratorial story is sad. This website used to attract and retain quality, clear thinking and interesting people. It is disappointing at best those this website now attracts.

And a look at your posts tells me everything about you I need to know.

This is just a battle in the global war between good and evil.
 
It's more grave than that, unfortunately - it's another entire front in the war.

For all of you who gave to the gofundme account before it was shut down, we so appreciate your love and generosity. Gofundme has told us that we will still receive those funds.

Great. I was going to post that question - so thanks for answering.
I donated last night - before GoFund shut it down, and I was wondering whether I needed to go after GoFund to get my money back, or to cancel the credit card charge. I'm glad to hear that the money will be going to the Kleins. It was over $110k when I looked at the numbers (probably a half hour before GoFund pulled the fundraising). I'm also glad to hear that Samaritan's Purse is going to carry the torch for these growing Christian persecution stories. I grant that the persecutions in America are nothing compared to those in other Countries - but it is still tough to get your businesses ruined, and accounts bankrupted by the morally corrupt judges and government officials in America.

Anyone know if Sweet Cakes has a website and email? We could like to buy 2 cakes and donate them to either a Christian Foster Program or to a Abused women’s center...

Rachel can NOT have a wife! Rachel is a female, so that mean she would be a wife to a man if she was normal.

I think this is it (how are you going to order a cake, or how are they going to send it?):

Huh?

You either don't believe the GoFundMe site couldn't arrive at this decision on its own or that a bakery would willingly hire a lawyer and go out of business in a conspiracy with lesbians?

Please, help us understand the insanity you espouse.

Why don’t the gays go after the really intolerant muslim establishments to cater their gay weddings?

Someone had some fun with that question... No, No. I don't want it.
Muslim Bakery

Christians appear to be the target at this point. It's so rare to see a positive portrayal of a Christian on TV these days. They are portrayed as dishonest, incestuous, intolerant, hypocritical or murderous. It's so over the top, that I catch myself laughing at the show.

From the thread with my original post. [Bold emphasis mine]

Lisa Watson, of Cupcake Jones, started her own campaign to contact GoFundMe and report the campaign as being in violation of their terms of service. Watson’s own post on Facebook stated, “this business has been found GUILTY OF DISCRIMINATION and is being allowed to fundraise to pay their penalty. The gofundme terms of service address hate speech, bigotry, criminal activity, and sexism among other things in their campaign…The amount of money they have raised in a matter of a few hours by thousands of anonymous cowards is disgusting.”

Late on Friday GoFundMe stopped the Sweet Cakes campaign. Via GoFundMe: "After careful review by our team, we have found the "Support Sweet Cakes By Melissa" campaign to be in violation of our Terms and Conditions. The money raised thus far will still be made available for withdrawal. While a different campaign was recently permitted for a pizzeria in Indiana, no laws were violated and the campaign remained live. However, the subjects of the "Support Sweet Cakes By Melissa" campaign have been formally charged by local authorities and found to be in violation of Oregon state law concerning discriminatory acts. Accordingly, the campaign has been disabled."

This story is still shocking to me. I can’t believe things like this can happen in a free country.
