"no expert testimony"

Good point-where's the proof of the so called injuries?

[Ez2BRepub]

"Examples of symptoms include “acute loss of confidence,” “doubt,” “excessive sleep,” “felt mentally raped, dirty and shameful,” “high blood pressure,” “impaired digestion,” “loss of appetite,” “migraine headaches,” “pale and sick at home after work,” “resumption of smoking habit,” “shock” “stunned,” “surprise,” “uncertainty,” “weight gain” and “worry.”

Really. These are everyday symptoms that, at one time, all of us have had occur in our everyday personal/work lives. Not really deserving of any type of payment.

Christians in large numbers will need to be willing to be persecuted for their faith by refusing to play their game.

"So....can the Politicians that have been told NOT to use specific songs on the campaign trail because those Artists disagree with their positions now sue those Artists?"

BUMP

If Christians or the religious don't have rights, then neither do the Atheists.

But they'll need to change the First Amendment first. And Religion has protected rights.

Now what I want to know is, where the hell are the Attorneys out there Pro-bono
to go after the state for civil rights violations? Sue the FAG out of them!

Where the hell are the ACLU? Yea I know, but it must be asked due to
their hypocrisy.

"The email for this disgusting POS is poublicopinion@boli.state.or.us

I emailed him. I encourage others to do so also. We can no longer remain silent."

I don't know who your email address is referencing...?

from the article: "The dispute began in January 2013, when Aaron denied Rachel Cryer a wedding cake after learning there would be two brides in her wedding.

Rachel and her partner Laurel Bowman-Cryer, who are now married..."

I think someone should start a LGBT Heroes Page - create a wall featuring all the gay heroes who have succeeded in destroying people's livelihood and small businesses...

It could include photos, adressess, emails, workplace, friends and family, etc. All sorts of info to enable their fans to contact and thank them for taking their courageous stands and congratulating them on their success... they could inspire each other.

The article says their names were redacted in some of the court documents and I'm afraid they aren't getting all the kudos they deserve...

Administrative law is unconstitutional. Worse, they could have gone anywhere for another cake.

These tribunals will simply become/are thought police and deadly show trials.

The key here is that the state is using all its might to subdue Christian thought. What started out as innocently hoping for non-discrimination is actually a sword for prosecutorial discretion.

Don't just wring your hands and moan, "Oh, what's to be done?" Fight back!

Melissa Klein, and her husband Aaron Klein, Christian owners of Melissa's Sweet Cakes Bakery, are fighting back. Support them a GoFundMe.

As of right now, they've raised $80,000 out of the $150,000 they hope to raise. They are continuing to fight this outrageous, tyrannical ruling.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Already up to $94k.

[King Moonracer]

discriminate, discriminate, discriminate. They hate us, let them reap what they sow.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I did what I can. Closing in on $100k.

[kanawa]

$99,780 of $150k

[Blood of Tyrants]

You could also tell them that all the proceeds from the sale will go to organizations that help gays become ex-gays.

Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian
Is he related to this lightweight wannabe revolutionary, Bob Avakian? If not they could be brothers from different mothers

[savedbygrace]

They need to hire attorneys who can bump this to the USSC on 1st Amendment violations.

$108,711 And growing.
