A poorly researched article. After the gays learned about the fundraising, they bombarded GoFundMe to shut it down, and they did. Here is the response from GofundMe as to why they shut down the fundraiser.

----------
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

Oregon is unfriendly to biblical Christianity. Christians should not go there.

Whoa. . .for a minute there, thought I saw the name as “GoFu**Me” and based on their response, maybe that name is more accurate.

As a practical matter, folks shouldn’t give to them at this point, anyway.The money would just end up in the hands of the homos.

Better strategy would be for the folks to file bankruptcy, discharge the debt, and then move to a friendly area and seek funding at that point to open a new business where they would be welcome.

Great opportunity to set up an alternative to Gofundme that isn’t sympathetic to the homo-fascists.

Well, they at least got $66,000 before the gaystapo successfully shut it down. What ugly, bitter people they are.

Back somewhere in my posting history I have posts putting forth this same idea of assigning the proceeds of a homosexual wedding cake to promoting traditional marriage.

I now think that the idea may be subject to discrimination laws, because homosexual cakes are singled out. Don’t know, it’s a legal question, and I’m not an attorney.

The easy workaround, however, is to donate a fixed amount from all wedding cakes to those causes.

Here is to kicker; Encourage matching funds from non-business sources, friends, churches, customers for cakes of their choosing.

Business contributes $10 per cake (let’s say), others match it at 10:1, or some amount of their own choosing.

Post the proceeds of the different cakes prominently in the store.

Suddenly, thousands of dollars are raised, the community has an opportunity to be part of the put-down, and, as nearly as I can determine, no laws are broken.

Funds shouldn’t be raised to pay the administrative fine, funds should be raised to overturn the absurdity of the case. Not one penny should go to the homosexuals that couldn’t get cakes to celebrate their perversion.

Found this here: http://www.gofundme.com/aih9m8

The hypocritical GoFundMe will help this guy, “one of the most violent criminals in the Stockton area” according to the police, who has been sent to federal prison for two+ years. However, it has dropped funding bakers acting in accordance with their religious beliefs who have fallen foul of the homosexual lobby and laws prohibiting free exercise of religion. Still, the criminal’s family is innocent, as are the children of the Kleins who face financial ruin.

They made a mistake using a vulnerable site like GoFundMe.

It has now become a modus operandi of the left to try and cut off funding for those they disagree with. From Operation Choke Point at the Just Us Department, to large scale harassment and threats against organizations like GoFundMe.

So obviously, conservatives need to steer clear of such weak points, if at all possible. Instead, they need to go through conservative organizations used to the threat and intimidation tactics of the left.

Ideally, some conservative will set up a *private* company like GoFundMe, that cannot be either Choke Pointed, or harassed into compliance. And they can refuse leftist campaigns as well.

This is what the Nazis did to the Jews. Force their businesses to close, put them out of business, fire them from their jobs, make it so they can’t support their families. All under the appropriate set of laws to make it seem legal.

Then they passed laws to make the Jews themselves illegal, which allowed for the imprisonment and death of “undesirables.”

Welcome to “post-Christian” America.

Well God still says.

Romans 1:..
22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools.. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.

Note also that Romans 1:32 points out that those who approve of such conduct are just as guilty as those who engage in it.

Lev 18:22 “You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination....

25‘For the land has become defiled, therefore I have brought its punishment upon it, so the land has spewed out its inhabitants.”

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.
