The lesbian couple turned away by a Gresham bakery that refused to make them a wedding cake for religious reasons should receive $135,000 in damages for their emotional suffering, a state hearings officer says.

Rachel Bowman-Cryer should collect $75,000 and her wife, Laurel Bowman-Cryer, $60,000 from the owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa, an administrative law judge for the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries said in a proposed order released Friday, April 24.

Because the military under the commander in chief has bigger guns than you and me.

Thank you for writing to us about this campaign.

After careful review by our team, we have found the “Support Sweet Cakes By Melissa” campaign to be in violation of our Terms and Conditions. The money raised thus far will still be made available for withdrawal.

While a different campaign was recently permitted for a pizzeria in Indiana, no laws were violated and the campaign remained live. However, the subjects of the “Support Sweet Cakes By Melissa” campaign have been formally charged by local authorities and found to be in violation of Oregon state law concerning discriminatory acts. Accordingly, the campaign has been disabled.

Regards,

The GoFundMe Team

We’re here to help! I’ll try my best to respond within 5 minutes during normal business hours.

GoFundMe shut it down. I emailed to find out why. They responded with this:

OMG, they're being shut out by everybody over this crap.

I'm stunned, this has become a lynch mob favoring Gays and unconstitutional favoring
towards a non-class of people who are nothing more than perverts.

Their pathetic law doesn't trump Religious rights in the Constitution.
But this is how they're winning, they force bad laws and dare people who
cannot afford to take it to the top. The Average Citizen has no address
to the Gov anymore.

I will say it, people will start dying if this shit keeps up..

“What if every time a family business is attacked by the gaystopo the result is that the family business then winds up with enough money to retire. The intimidation tactic is then a total failure.”

BINGO.

“How many GoFundMe’s can we keep up with?”

Whats the point? All the money is going to end up in
the faggs pockets anyway.

The case has not played out its full appellate path yet so how can they say whether or not it is a “crime”?

But fine that is what they say. So without missing a beat, let donations be made directly and the GoFundMe people can forego what they got off the top.

And similar sites should be set up for Christian causes involving challenge of unjust laws.

that's a depressing fact. can you imagine. thank God my father's not alive to see this. He thought the beatles were a horror lol.
75 years ago when my father was 20, they would have taken fruits who asked for a wedding cake out the door and slapped them like bit.hes, which they would have enjoyed
