In 2013 – a small family bakery in Northwestern Oregon refused to make a cake for a lesbian wedding.
The owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa had no idea that their decision to follow the teachings of their Christian faith would lead to a multi-year legal battle. It’s a battle still being waged.

Aaron and Melissa Klein were eventually punished by the state of Oregon — fined $135 thousand dollars for refusing to participate in the lesbian wedding event.
It was the price they had to pay for refusing to violate their conscience.
They also made the painful decision to close their beloved bakery – for good.
Just one more immoral example of how secular Socialist liberalism CREATES nothing, no businesses, no wealth, no prosperity for the poor productive guy who just wants to bake cakes, feed others and not be molested in his own business like his children are harassed, molested and intimidated at school in the bathrooms of the American political diaspora. Just one more socialist collective of the weak, organizing and ganging up on the individual American strong who had better start organizing themselves or will soon find themselves extinct. NAZI’s only made up 15-20% of Germans, Communists 12-15%,,,,American gays 1-3%. The historical record of the oppression of a social minorities over the majorities compared to the historical oppression of the majorities over the majorities usually proves more damaging because most men are basically good and good rules the day when good majority people rule the country. This is what Republican Democracy is all about, not the Democrat party division by gender, race and economic class we get today.
#1. Obama, “Crooked Hillary” and the Democrat Party revolve around and its philosophy is based on secrecy, Lies, Cons and Deceptions.
#2.These are the open practitioners of the infamous crime against nature,
who sold their souls to the malicious, venomous bullies and bigots of Organized LGBT mafia.
These Sodomites, will not tolerate and will attack anyone and anything not accepting and promoting their degenerate, sexually perverted lifestyle.
#3. If one likes or believes in doing something ugly and others do not accept their behavior or refuse to associate with it.
How are others denying your freedom? You are free to be a degenerate sexual pervert if you want, but do not expect others to accept you as anything but a degenerate sexual pervert.
Bigotry is not necessarily a bad thing. One need not tolerate every action of another.
IMO this is exactly what the left wanted from the get go.. Either you support their depravity, or you get shut down.. That way they silence any and all opposition.
Ahh… Freedom of speech as always with the socialist progressive left is only one way..
The LGBT method of operation is to bully, intimidate, litigate, my way or the highway, stomp the opponent, etc. There is no come let us reason together,
That’s cause to the left, there IS no reasoning. No compromise. ITS either THEIR way, or no way. And any resistance is futile.
ltuser:
resistance is NOT futile,
Vote for Donald Trump!
To all you Gays out there who hate Christians. It would be to your advantage to warm up to the fact that Christians, Jews and others may be the only Allies you have. Your lives could just depend on it.
If all you Gays think that Hillary or Bernie will protect you then you may want to rethink that. Why is she putting on a Hijab when she speaks before Muslim groups? Why are Hillary, Obama and Bernie heavily pushing for open borders and letting all those, so called, Islamic refugees flood into this country?
They constantly sing praises of Gay marriage and the rights of Gays to demonstrate against those who don’t agree with them. Think about this: While they are allowing you to have your way and persecute Christians, they also allow Muslims to have their street prayers or to openly recruit anyone into the faith. They even allow Islam to be taught in public schools. Something other religions are not allowed to do. Why are they playing both ends against the middle? Could they know something you don’t?
The news is full of ISIS raping and killing woman and beheading Christians, Atheists and Gays in Islamic countries. I hope that never happens in this country but what if it does? Can you Gays afford to take that chance? If that happens, I doubt that many Christians will be willing to help you after the way you treat them. All you Gays have been to Islam is useful idiots. Once you outlive your usefulness, you too will be thrown under the bus.
I am honestly at the point if the gays tried asking us to help defend them, we should just say “Sorry, but you made your bed, now lie in it!”..
What has happened to freedom? What has happened to freedom of religion? What has happened to respect? What has happened to “live and let live”? What has happened to “we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone”? So, if a business person, a baker believes that marriage is only between a man and a woman, he loses his business and livelihood? This is not the America I was born and raised in. This is neither justice nor is it freedom. This is tyranny. It is the misinterpretation of the law because conduct and race are not in the same category. Homosexual conduct is against the teaching of the Word of God. By God’s standards, it is impossible to legitimize marriage between two men or two women. It is not marriage. God has defined marriage already.
LIberals have legislated freedom to only apply to them and what THEY want..
California, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Massachusetts all have gone politically insane. They have turned into places that no decent person can live in unless they totally hide who they are. Only the perverted and depraved are allowed to do business and express their views there.
In addition to being politically insane, the governments of those states are also morally corrupt. This is what happens when people insist on electing politicians who have subordinated themselves to the devil.
Elect only those persons whom you perceive to be godly. Only God can save this country.
Okay, people donated over $350,000 in a fundraiser so they could pay the fine and stay open. So why are they closed and what did they do with the rest of the money..about $250,000 or so…..
People donated so they could pay their legal bills to fight government tyranny.
Did you totally miss what the story is about? They are not still open because the government had denied them the freedom to follow their religious beliefs.
So did they donate the rest, did they pay their fine or did they close shop and run off with the money, and what religion says that they can’t sell a cake to a lesbian couple? It wasn’t about religious beliefs, it was because of discrimination and that’s against the law there.
There was no discrimination. It was simply a business person trying to make a living and trying to be true to the teachings of the Word of God. Marriage, as stated in the Bible is between a man and a woman, and that is just the way it is. But this baker was not allowed to practice his faith because of the intolerance against him. Basically, the same gender marriage people told him: “If you do not agree with us you are through.” Obviously, this is not freedom. “Live and let live” is becoming a thing of the past.
