GRESHAM, Ore. A Gresham bakery discriminated against a same-sex couple who wanted to purchase a wedding cake, the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries announced Monday.
The owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa bakery will have to pay the couple up to $150,000, BOLI spokesman Charlie Burr said. The exact amount will be determined at a hearing on March 10.

“Explain to me why its a sin for a bakery to make a cake.”
Very good question haha.
This Bakery has a ‘Cakes in a Jar’ mail order thing going. Give them a shot for B’Days or St Valentines day if you can. I’ll be distributing cakes in a jar this Valentines day. www.sweekcakesweb.com/9.html
“trouble is that is what they like”
All that means is that we ain’t giving them nearly enough of it...
“Hopefully, they sold off all real property and capital asserts, hid the cash vas declared bankruptcy.”
The time is well past playing honorably and fair. Every little dirty (legal) trick should be used to fight this.
Bakery should declare BK.
They don’t need a dating service....
Is there a fundraiser page for them somewhere?
So you support this decision?
If it ain't a sin, then Christians should for forced to bake it?
Is that what you are implying?
In the Arlene's Flowers case they sued both the company and the owner. (Here.) And it's been upheld.
America has been destroyed by socialists, abortionists and faggots.
One of the big (and totally fallacious) arguments used by the gay marriage mob is that if you’re not gay, then gay marriage has NO EFFECT on you.
And if you just happen to have $150,000 hanging around to pay to the State of Oregon, maybe they have a point. But I doubt that’s the case for most small businesses.
Yup.

There must be a limit to society's tolerance of the reach and grasp of the pro-sodomy perverts.
No immoral and amoral law can be either moral or constitutional.
Not if our entire system of government is ultimately based on natural rights.
Washington State is no better...there was a florist in the news...?
What are the freakin' names??
Ed Murray is gay, but not a Communist. It’s the lady from India on the city council who is a member of the Socialist Party.
