Gaystapo Takes No Prisoners: GoFundMe Torpedoes Sweet Cakes
Charting Course ^ | 4/25/15 | Steve Berman

The LGBT-Gestapo adapts rather quickly.  After Memories Pizza raised $842,432 in just a few days, and Arlene’s Flowers raised over $173 thousand on GoFundMe, the Gaystapo couldn’t let Aaron and Melissa Klein, owners of the now-shuttered Sweet Cakes by Melissa, use that fundraising platform.

A GoFundMe account was established for the Kleins, and raised over $6,000, until the website took it down.

The website GoFundMe said in a statement Saturday that it took down the page because the campaign violated the policy against raising money “in defense of formal charges of heinous crimes, including violent, hateful, or sexual acts.”

“The campaign entitled ‘Sweet Cakes by Melissa‘ involves formal charges. As such, our team has determined that it was in violation of GoFundMe’s Terms & Conditions,” said GoFundMe in an email statement.

“The money raised thus far will still be made available for withdrawal,” said GoFundMe.

An administrative judge ordered the Kleins to pay $135,000 for violating a 2007 Oregon law protecting “the rights of gays, lesbians, bisexual and transgender people in employment, housing and public accommodations,” according to The Washington Times.  The law provides an exemption for religious organizations but does not allow private businesses to discriminate based on sexual orientation.

And we wonder why gay activists go apoplectic over Indiana’s RFRA law, which would protect business owners against this kind of rank persecution—well, it would have, if they hadn’t gutted it.

Samaritan’s Purse, Rev. Franklin Graham’s Christian humanitarian organization, stepped in to help the Kleins raise money.

Stripped of their livelihood and facing financial ruin, the Kleins are being denied funding as if they were guilty of murder or hate crimes.  All they did was decline to bake cupcakes for a lesbian wedding.  To the Gaystapo, being a Christian is reason enough to be made to live in a cave.

GoFundMe Cancels Sweet Cakes By Melissa Fundraising Campaign, Bakers Blame 'Satan' http://t.co/brSV2w77HU

— Eric E. (@Phil_e_advocate) April 25, 2015

Apparently GoFundMe has no problem raising money for legal funds, as long as it’s not for Christians.  Aldo Alvarez was charged with burglary with assault and battery on a law enforcement officer after allegedly attacking Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputy Joshua McGehee.  McGeheee shot Alvarez, and GoFundMe hasn’t taken down Alvarez’s account.

Neither have they taken down the hundreds of legal defense fund accounts, many of the beneficiaries of which face “formal charges of heinous crimes, including violent, hateful, or sexual acts.”

Nope, only the Kleins, who are accused of violating the Gaystapo’s “made to care” rules, have been stripped of their GoFundMe account.

The real agenda isn’t about cakes or “marriage equality.”  It’s about politics and an agenda of control.  Even gays can’t escape the agenda’s grasp:  Ian Reisner and Mati Weiderpass, openly gay businessmen, are being boycotted simply because they hosted a party for Ted Cruz, with whom they share a support for Israel (a haven for gays in a region where homosexual beheadings are real things, BTW).

On the “Boycott Fire Island Pines Establishment & Out NYC Hotel” Facebook page, one commenter summed it up pretty well.

The focus since Ian Reisner and Mati Weiderpass invited Ted Cruz into their home has been on Cruz’s opposition to marriage equality. But Ted Cruz stands opposed to nearly everything I care about. He opposes even the most basic civil rights protections for LGBT people. While he said he’d love a lesbian daughter (in theory), he’d treat her as a second class citizen and would not respect her fundamental humanity. In addition to being anti-gay, he’s also anti-choice, anti-immigrant, and he subscribes to a fundamentalist Biblical world view. He’s a theocrat. He denies climate change. The NRA gave him an A+ on their scorecard. He’s made outrageously false statements about President Obama, including calling him “an apologist for radical Islamic terrorists.” Ted Cruz is a right-wing fanatic of frightening proportions. Lending ANY kind of support or legitimacy to his candidacy for president is, in my book, unconscionable.
The Gaystapo takes no prisoners, brooks no dissent, and offers no mercy.  All in the name of “tolerance.”

Everybody will be made to care.

The gaystapo is the same as North Korea. If you do not bow before them not only will they destroy you. They will destroy your business, your children, your parents. All 3 generations must be destroyed to root out the lack of worshiping sodomites.

Instead of complaining about the tactics of Satan, we must do something about it. God bless Franklin Graham for making it possible for us to help this Christian couple in their time of persecution by the ungodly government officials in OR at the Samaritan’s Purse website.
If 2500 Christians would each give $60, the result would be $150,000, thus paying for their fine and helping with court costs. But if 5000 Christians respond, each would only have to contribute $30 for the same result. There is strength in numbers, particularly as the Holy Spirit guides us to “love one another,” as Jesus commands.

declining to bake a ceremony cake for a ceremony that contradicts one’s religious beliefs is now a violent hateful act?

Then go around them. Start your own website to solicit crowd-funds and tell GoFundMe to GoF—kThemselves.

For those who may not have, to see who is responsible for killing the GoFundMe rescue of Sweet Cakes, go here. The twits who did it called the people who donated "Anonymous cowards" which makes me sick. I think they're just jealous.

Just looked, the turds who killed the rescue have multiple sweet shops in Portland OR, and the shop they nuked was in Gresham OR, just east of Portland. Anybody see what I do? Killing off the competition with a little gay activism?

Severe punishment needs to come for whoever wrote this. The lines are drawn.

You are right...a conservative/Christian alternative to GoFundMe to help those attacked by the Gaystapo and others on the far left.

This is what the Nazis did to the Jews. Force their businesses to close, put them out of business, fire them from their jobs, make it so they can’t support their families. All under the appropriate set of laws to make it seem legal.

Then they passed laws to make the Jews themselves illegal, which allowed for the imprisonment and death of “undesirables.”

Welcome to “post-Christian” America.

Well God still says.

Romans 1:..
22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools.. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.

Note also that Romans 1:32 points out that those who approve of such conduct are just as guilty as those who engage in it.

Lev 18:22 “You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination....

25‘For the land has become defiled, therefore I have brought its punishment upon it, so the land has spewed out its inhabitants.”

Seems like a Christian attorney or law firm could easily get all the money the Kleins need just by suing GoFundMe for demonstrably damaging discrimination in clear violation of their practiced and stated policies.

If, that is, actual conservative Christian attorneys or law firms even exist. At this point, AFAIK, that's a purely theoretical concept.

Time to send another donation to Franklin Graham, folks.

Ironic as it may seem, the original Nazis only persecuted homosexuals as a pretext--to deflect rampant homosexuality in their own ranks, and going after certain homosexuals for political/ideological reasons, even while MANY of the top Nazis were homosexual, or just plain perverted, themselves...

So the "Gaystapo" are well named...

See the Pink Swastika.
