Lion Heart 15,041 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 PORTLAND, Ore. – The co-owner of a Gresham bakery that refused to make a wedding cake for a lesbian couple cut a check for the $135,000 fine ordered by the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries. Aaron Klein on Monday made a payment in the amount of $136,927.07, which included interest, according to Charlie Burr with BOLI. Following a two-year investigation into whether the bakery violated Oregon's anti-discrimination laws, BOLI ruled July 2, 2015, that the Kleins had to pay Rachel and Laurel Bowman-Cryer $135,000 for refusing to bake them a wedding cake because of their sexual orientation. "This case is not about a wedding cake or a marriage. It is about a business's refusal to serve someone because of their sexual orientation. Under Oregon law, that is illegal," BOLI said in its ruling. .. Aaron Klein said he would file an appeal with the Oregon Court of Appeals.

Nino 12 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I don't know what's worse, making this big of a fuss over a cake, or that homophobia is such a big problem that we have to make a big deal over a cake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd feel pretty shitty too, but I guess examples need to be set so people stop getting away with discrimination. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphine Prince 109,682 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 The gay agenda is getting out of hand. Soon they'll start lynching heterosexuals in public! Oh, the madness! All of this is a plot to eliminate the human race! If everyone is gay humans can't repproduce! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
