It depends on whether you trust Samaritan’s purse. doesn’t it?

It seems making their fund name generic preserves them from similar hate charges and legal challenges

[silverleaf]

they closed down the Kleins fund because they had been convicted on charges, but they are allowing a criminal’s family to solicit money?

Chapter 20 - File a 7 to discharge what you can, then a 13 to get rid of most of the rest.

If the state is awarding damages to the newlyweds, it would be in the nature of a tort; if the state is planning to keep the money as a fine, the answer might be a bit different.

A bit dated, but you might find this useful:

This is silly ... do the American thing ... declare bankruptcy, give them NOTHING and re open your business under a different corporate umbrella. Make sure you clearly post your religious affiliation in the new company and have done with it.

This was without any doubt an excessive fine in violation of the 8th Amendment. There is no way an administrative law judge has the power or authority to demand that kind of payment for a diminimus and questionable violation of any law.

Agree completely.

The term you are looking for is " de minimus", meaning "about minimal things".

There is no way to prove any damages worth $135,000.

Please somebody explain. Why exactly did the fund to help this couple close down? Obviously the couple needs help.

It wasn't clear Friday what specifically led to the apparent shelving of the GoFundMe fundraiser. But in response to a query by The Oregonian/OregonLive, the San Diego-based company provided this email reply:

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 and have removed this campaign. The money raised thus far will still be made available for withdrawal.

Some libs complained that GoFundME was funding someone who discriminating and was found guilty of discrimination, thus violating the terms of the site.

GoFundMe agreed and shut down the fundraising page last night late in the evening.

I saw it happen in real time, as $109,000 had been raised, and then the next time I checked ten seconds later, there was a message that the fundraising page was no longer available, with no explanation.

Other sources have identified the complainers as the bakers of cupcakes who are libs.

They cried.

Make the cake itself say “One man, one woman” using food coloring and then cover it with icing.

The Just Us Department. I am so going to steal that, LOL.

Remember when there was a fight to get “sexual orientation” added to the list of protected classes in Civil Rights legislation?

This is the end result.

And it is going to get worse.

If the debt is connected to a conviction, the bankruptcy can be challenged and prevented. Since this appears to be an administrative fine, I don't know if this counts as a real conviction.

Good grief. Thanks for the explanation. The Gaystapo has penetrated just about every corner of society, including charity.

Like hiding a slice of ham in a muslim omelet.

Another FAGWA by the Gaystopo .

Governors in other states should issue a “travel warning” for Oregon.
