A husband-and-wife baking team must pay a $135,000 fine for declining to make a cake for the wedding of two women, Oregon’s second-highest court has ruled.
A three-judge panel of the Oregon Court of Appeals on Thursday upheld a decision by a state agency that led to the fine and forced Aaron and Melissa Klein to close their bakery.
The court ruled that baking wedding cakes is not “speech, art, or other expression” protected by the First Amendment. The judges said the state did not “impermissibly burden the Kleins’ right to the free exercise of religion” because it compelled the Christian bakers only to comply with “a neutral law of general applicability.”
Oregon law prohibits businesses from refusing service because of a customer’s sexual orientation, as well as because of race, gender, and other personal characteristics.
I think the American judicial system has been politicized.. I also think that is why people are so aware, when ever a new supreme court judge will be selected.
I can tell you, that 99% of all citizens in my country cannot name a single supreme court judge. and that is a good thing because pic related
Bentley Ramirez
Wasn't the bakers' reason for declining religion? Oregon courts have now set precedent.

it frightens you when someone doesn't want to bake a cake?

So let me change this:
A three-judge panel of the Oregon Court of Appeals on Thursday upheld a decision by a state agency that led to the fine and forced Muhammed and Aisha to close their bakery.
The court ruled that baking wedding cakes is not “speech, art, or other expression” protected by the First Amendment. The judges said the state did not “impermissibly burden the Muhammed's right to the free exercise of religion” because it compelled the Islamic bakers only to comply with “a neutral law of general applicability.”

nobody wants cakes. cakes are for fags and pagans. common law is shit. welcome to citizens united and to jew money. enjoy your pornos

America is not for white christians anymore, you idiot. The kangz and kikes are in power now.

>Ukrainian baker to bake a Commies cake You do realize Soviet Union was ruled by a Ukrainian for two decades right
Kayden Martinez
>5 they just said no and the couple sued them.
also the couple drove 100 miles just to order a cake from this particular shop - this was done with a purpose
I understand why people hate commies now
Bentley Clark
The bakery broke the law and is now suffering the consequences. Snooze.
Levi Allen
It still was when the song was written.
Parker Jenkins
>100 miles Wow. I'm sure there were plenty of bakeries willing to bake cakes within their immediate area. Also, I'm sure they were at least aware the owners were Muslim if they did so much research on the place, and probably have guessed it might be an issue for them given their religious beliefs.
This was a total power play. They obviously had an agenda from the beginning.
Cameron Rivera
There needs to be retribution. For too long have we stood by while these filthy leftists chip away at our values.
Blake Williams
I think they have to offer the pork first, but if they refused to serve someone based on what the court said they could be sued. So anyone wanting to give people who practice a religion a hard time the door is now wide open
HOWEVER with Trump's appointee and if the SCOTUS takes the case I think they will shut this down fast.
You can't force people to serve you.
Imagine all the law suits at 7/11 for: no shirt no service
Juan Peterson
Exact opposite of capitalism. A free society would allow for you to do business in what ever way you like so long as it isn't harming anyone, how does a couple of fags not having a cake from that particular bakery harm anyone. If the faggots want a cake so bad, why don't they just bake it themselves?
Justin Perry
the court that rule in favor of the couple is full of jews
how many NAZI cakes are you going to order from a Jewish baker?
Angel Brown
Can the couple take this to the Supreme Court?
I typically hate mudslimes, but entitled SJWs are even worse.
Luke Allen
It' wasn't only for that. These "christians" also doxxed the couple to their friends and they sent death threats and shit to them. The judge took that into account and that is another reason why the fine is high. They got that shit paid off easy because of gofundme donations anyways so it's not like it really affected them at all. The bakers already said they were going to discriminate again in the future so don't be surprised when they end up in the news again soon
Jason Howard
Why? The bakers never offered to serve gays but were forced to do so.
Jace Perry
Holy shit anyone did that would be shoah'd right away
Grayson Cox
>imagine being being more denegarate than the couple you pretend to be disgusted by
Mason Taylor
what fucking idiots. and the goblowme bitches too
Adam Morgan
Except they agreed to serve them, just not have the cake they way the couple wanted it. That's when the discrimination began
Landon Scott
>9 Stalin was from Georgia, he and the Jewish Bolshevist pushed the Russian Jews into the Ukraine committing the Holodomor, Genocide of Christian Ukrainians. In the end the Jews murdered over 80 Million people in the USSR
Henry Jones
>be private business >peacefully refuse to serve someone based on a difference in beliefs, as it is your right to refuse service to anyone >get fined into poverty Absolute joke
If i tried to get a cake with a nazi/isis flag and they refused to make it can I get some free gibs too?
Lucas Murphy
No, you would be shoah'd
Robert Sanchez
Okay so the Muslim restaurant agreed to serve me then I asked for pork. Get to it. That's when the discrimination will begin.
Grayson Richardson
don't worry eventually you'll break a silly law too, first they came for the bakers...
Good. This will create more and more hate against the degenerates.
Daniel Roberts
>le USSR was jewish maymay
Odd how they also gulag'd jews by the millions.
Leo Miller
Unless pork is on the menu, they don't have to serve you pork. The couple was originally allowed to customise the cake how they wanted it and then the discrimination started it. Two entirely different scenarios
James Foster
but this IS capitalism, Marx coined the word Capitalism , this is what he wanted to usher in so the state would eventually control everything. economies are more complex than just capitalism, see Adam Smith, all capitalism cares about is money.
Jose Parker
>being constrained by government regulations is capitalism go sit in the corner and think about what you said
Hunter Russell
Maybe the solution is to sell only cakes with heterosexual templates, no more customization. Stupid, but unfortunately we live in a stupid political system now.
Cameron Ward
you should provide a link - the story you tell is coming up as fake
Wyatt Fisher
I hate leafs. But I hate these faggot opportunists more. Leaf is right. This shit is wrong
Adam Gutierrez
This means we need to start making jewish delis and places create swastika themed food and then sue them $$$
Brody Ross
They actually made money from private donations, far more than they were fined:
In Oregon, businesses open to the public, must not refuse service based on protected classes which include sexual orientation and race.
>the couple drove 100 miles just to order a cake from this particular shop
[citation needed]
completely bullshit

If we cold rid ourselves of both winter hon the law, it'd be great.

How exactly is this cake gay?

We should find out where these bakers live and send them money. Court sentence don't mean shit now.

They already made hundreds of thousands off this. They suffered 0 financial hardship and to date have refused to pay a cent.

>This cake is not gay yeah, but we are not talking about this cake
Chase Walker
I hope those fucking dikes will add to the statistics that LGBTQ have the highest suicidal rates.
Gabriel Barnes
Your wild implications the they asked for prurient cakes because they were gay are unfounded, as are allegations that anyone targeted bakeries deliberately that were Christian.
That said, Christians are getting a taste of their own medicine, and it is delicious. Not a one of these bakeries would refuse an interracial wedding cake or a cake for a divorcee getting remarried.

Requiring a Jewish bakery to make a Nazi cake is genius. Make this happen, Oregonians.

You cant refuse a protected class. Its literally the same as putting a sign in your store saying 'we don't serve black people' Protected class includes age, sex, gender, sexual orientation, race, etc.
I didn't know they tried to use free speech in their defense, that's fucking comical
Caleb Nguyen

Millennials draw no distinctions between discrimination protections that should be afforded gay and lesbian people, on the one hand, and transgender people on the other. More than seven in ten (73%) millennials support legal protections against discrimination in jobs, public accommodations, and housing for gay and lesbian people. A nearly identical number (72%) of millennials say they favor these same protections for transgender people.
While no significant racial or gender differences exist on either question, there are large religious divides in support for expanding nondiscrimination legislation. Roughly eight in ten black Protestant (80%), white Catholic (82%), Hispanic Catholic (81%), religiously unaffiliated (83%), and white mainline Protestant millennials (78%) favor laws that would protect gay and lesbian people against discrimination in jobs, public accommodations, and housing. About two-thirds (66%) of Hispanic Protestant millennials also favor such laws. White evangelical Protestants are closely divided on this issue, with a slim majority (51%) favoring laws that would protect gay and lesbian people against discrimination, and 47% opposing them. Among religious groups, the pattern of opinion about non-discrimination legislation protecting transgender individuals is nearly identical.

This is a different case. Masterpiece baker wasn't fined at all and Alliance Defending Freedom aka wacky evangelical rich Christians are paying his costs.

You are thinking of two different cases. In most cases these people have made LOTS of money from private Christian donations.

Stalin started purging Jews because they got in his way.
When Lenin was still alive, Jews were in control, and Stalin kissed their boots until he got high enough up the ladder to become Top Shabbos.

Those Americans who will not stand up and voice their disgust at this very unfair judgment will be judged and punished by God same as the filthy LGBTQ human waste will. If you are sitting quiet and are afraid to speak up that puts you into the Satans corner same as LGBTQ are.
