It’s interesting the hypocrisy of the left who demands to bake the cake because the venue is a public service that must be provided to everyone or they will sue to put you out of business. These same leftists will demand that corporations openly discriminate against an individual who wants to say, purchase a gun with a credit card.

My tolerance of homosexuality ended with “Bake the damn cake.”
It’s unfortunate for us, but I’ve seen two or three OTHER “decisions” that should never have been in the first place, “reduced” because it was “sort’a kind’a not right to begin with”
Calling refusal to bake a wedding cake “refusing to serve” is a lie. They refused to extend the services they provide to everyone to include a special cake in celebration of something they felt uncomfortable about. If they had refused to let the gay couple into their shop or to sell them a bagel that would be wring. But to sue them for this is not being a champion civil rights, its being a champion of persecuting others for not celebrating your life style.
They should refuse to pay. A state CANNOT set legal requirements for someone to practice their religion. Separation of Church & State, anyone? (That's what they say all the time. Turnabout's fair play.)
Which is what got them into trouble in the first place. Sexual orientation is a protected class in Oregon.
I have a gut feeling they are trying to lower the fine, so the case will go away. Maybe they are afraid if it goes back to the Supreme Court, their chances might not be as good.
Not one cent for slavery to sodomy.
They will lose at scotus that is indeed why they dropped the fine.
Isn’t it strange Facebook, Twitter and all the other “social” media sites can ban people who post conservative views but small business owners can’t ban orders because of their religious beliefs.
Civil Punishment by Bureaucratic & Judicial Abuse.
If there’s not a law against such action by the state, there should be, with criminal and financial penalties.
Wow, this case has lasted longer than most gay marriages.
In the future, a sign behind the counter saying "15% of all cake orders will be donated to Get Out of Being Gay Organization."
It should be cut to $0. In fact, the couple should pay the bakers for the intentional emotional distress and tortuous interference in their business they deliberately committed.
You can refuse to take a special commission for any or no reason. You are no longer a seller but an employee.
This is something that people are failing to understand. You can not be forced to take a job. That would be slavery.
For those who want to object to the slavery label "because they are paying you" please understand that slavery is not unpaid labor, it is forced labor.
If you can not accept or decline a job it is slavery no matter if you get paid or you do not get paid.
So it’s gone from a travesty of justice, to a travesty of justice.
Most heterosexual marriages as well.
Once again you are spreading disinformation. Or as we use to say, lying though your teeth.
