Also, is the “labor commissioner” a poof?

Aren't all white male liberals poofs?

Sure seems that way.

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

What you have posited is not an absolute as people gossip, and gossip has a tendency to spread. And even in a large town, if they go to a mega church or the same church that is smaller, both sides would probably know.

Bring on the Christian sectarianism! Not.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Now that the Kleins have reached their fundraising goals, it goes to show that a sizable number of Americans still err on the side of religious liberty.

"ERR"??? You should reconstruct that sentence, Courtney. How about "...it goes to show huge numbers of Americans are worried about the totalitarians destroying their First Amendment rights"? Grrrr!

[Pollster1]

Both of these instances have proven that lawsuits and threats only make unapologetic Christian businesses stronger.

I approve of supporting decent people like the victims of this malicious prosecution, but I pray that not one cent will go to the bullies who filed charges and lied about the so-called trauma of not having their orders to bake the cake obeyed (loss of appetite and weight gain, both? $135,000 in alleged suffering from not being able to order others around? really?). The lesbians in this case, the administrative "judge", and BOLI Commissioner Brad Avakian are shockingly disgusting people, who I hope will be shunned by all decent people until they repent, make restitution to the innocents they have harmed, and reform their thuggish and totalitarian ways. I hope the lesbians will die of old age or other natural causes before they are able to collect from their victims.

I asked a question. That is what the question mark at the end of that sentence is about. I did not make a statement.

Re: 7

You started out well - before the first coma - but then you started engaging in broad-brushing comparisons.
You are dealing in hypotheticals. The baker is not going to know if someone who is asking for a Wedding cake has previously been married - unless the purchaser feels compelled to blab about it and give an account of the grisly details. At that point, the baker can do as he/she feels. It is her business, she can accept the order, or not. If the business was refused, I also doubt the blabber would care two bits about it - they'd just move on to another baker (and maybe not blab so much).

The requirement for a Christian baker to prepare and sell a Wedding Cake for a Sodomite 'marriage' (there is no such an animal - but hypothetically speaking) is analogous to forcing a humanist who runs a general store to sell gasoline to someone who says he is buying it to pour on himself to commit self-immolation. I would hope that the Government would not force said General Store humanist owner to sell that gasoline.
Now multiply that by a million (or more). The Christian knows that the Sodomite, unless he/she repents and turns will end up in the everlasting fires of Hell. The Christian would rather go to jail than willingly participate in this self-immolation of someone's soul.

So why didn’t they just go to a different baker?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Never mind, you have answered the question.

You do indeed support forcing people to do things that violate their religious beliefs.

Now that is a statement. See the period at the end?

[MuttTheHoople]

Lez-bo bitches wanna destroy Christians...it won't go well for the carpet-munchers

[Jim Robinson]

Why didn’t they just go down the street to a different baker? The baker has rights to decline service to people who are flaunting their perversions in his face.

[Delta 21]

I dont understand how its lasted this long. The commissioners demands are in clear violation of the Oregon Constitution

ARTICLE I
Sec. 2. Freedom of worship

3. Freedom of religious opinion

8. Freedom of speech and press

[yoe]

“claims of heinous crimes, violent, hateful, sexual or discriminatory acts,”?????

This could only be by the Discriminatory Gay Mafia.

[Albion Wilde]

I hope they use the excess funds to sue the so-called “labor commissioner” into oblivion, like Mike Nifong after his evil persecution of the Duke lacrosse team.

[kaehurowing]

You can tell by his Facebook page he’s a big Poof supporter.

[spokeshave]

So why didn’t they just go to a different baker?

Yeah...and the Gay Bakers in the town were discriminated against by not getting their cake order....

....and all those mail (no pun intended) out of state LBGT bakeries were also loosing business....

So hit them with a RICO

[epow]

IMHO owners of lawful businesses of ANY kind have a right to either refuse or accept business from anyone or any group they choose.

If I owned a store that supplied mining companies with dynamite and a Muslim customer wanted to buy a couple of cases I wouldn't sell it to him. Should the mayor of my town be legally able to bring charges against me before a labor commission?

I don't think so here in GA, but in the liberal never-never land called Oregon the mayor probably could and would.

[Albion Wilde]

The children look so happy and well-disciplined. Not.

[Twotone]

I’m pretty sure they’ve already stated they are NOT paying the fine & instead are going to court. We’ll see if the Supremes take the case.

[kaehurowing]

No, it is not stronger than the Lord intended. Romans 1:32 states that those who approve of homosexuality and sexual immorality are as bad in the eyes of the Lord as those who practice them.

[dennisw]

Ok but how much are these useless (to humanity) mouth breather lesbians going to be raking in? Its a major crime if they score $100,000 off this phoney claim plus collusion with the phony baloney gov’t official who imposed the high fine
