Hope their business enjoys much success and they make lots of money.

Screw the lunatics.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

The Oregon Equality Act of 2007 expressly prohibits businesses from discriminating against customers on the basis of their sexual orientation.

But discrimination against Christians who run businesses is allowed.

[Viennacon]

Good news.

[willardwx]

If I live in a free country, why do I have to sell anything to sexual perverts that are going to Hell? I think it is a sin on me!!

[Viennacon]

100% in agreement.

[mass55th]

That’s queer.

I initially read this as:

No fine for Oregon baker who refused to service gay couple

Maybe they wanted his frosting squeeze squirt bottle.

[Conserev1]

When will the sane ones of America stand up to this BS!
Man that an oppurnituty for a gay baker to open and make a fortune!
It is a shoe in with the name Queer Baker!

[SkyDancer]

When liberals discriminate, it’s called “freedom of choice”. When conservatives do it, it’s “discrimination”.

What’s that mean??????

[Pollster1]

That’s mighty generous of our ruling class - choosing not to fine free Americans for exercising their God-given rights that are supposed to be inviolate under the First Amendment.

Duff would cavort in the road naked, painted in rainbow colors if it’d get him publicity.

[RoosterRedux]

Sorry you don't understand Ethiopian...it is difficult to master.

But well don't give up...you too may marry a girl and put a Honkey on your cake.

/;-)

[RoosterRedux]

Free country? You live in Obama World.

You can kill a honkey...but you cannot refuse butt-boys.

[laplata]

Now I understand.

[RoosterRedux]

As an aside..."al baby" is one of the good guys...very clever.

Good to have you on FR...welcome from another newbie!:-)

[MacMattico]

Who would want a cake from a business that’s being forced to make it?

{militant gays}

Just think of the ingredients one could put in that cake!

We had a cake maker in our town that really didn’t like Catholics. She lost a lot of business but no way was she making my cake and I wouldn’t want to force her to!

[TArcher]

"...who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world, and through all time;

 

...

 

 that it is time enough for the rightful purposes of civil government, for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against peace and good order; and finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them.
