There is a new case in the never ending war waged by homosexual activists on people of faith.
From the Washington Post:
"The state Bureau of Labor and Industries will investigate whether Sweet Cakes by Melissa violated a 2007 state law that protects the rights of gays, lesbians, bisexual and transgender people in employment, housing and public accommodations, The Oregonian...reported Wednesday.
In her complaint, Rachel N. Cryer, 30, said she went to the Gresham bakery on Jan. 17 for an appointment to order the cake. She met with owner Aaron Klein, who asked for the date and names of the bride and groom.
“I told him, ‘There are two brides and our names are Rachel and Laurel,’” the complaint says.
Klein responded that he and his wife didn’t serve same-sex weddings and “cited a religious belief for its refusal to make cakes for same-sex couples planning to marry,” the complaint says."
For the crime of refusing to participate in a shabby simulacrum of marriage a family business is now being investigated by the State of Oregon and, unless they toss away their religious beliefs, will be fined perhaps to the point of bankruptcy. According to the article there are no caps on the fines allowed under the law.
But all is not lost. The Kleins can repent:
“The goal is never to shut down a business. The goal is to rehabilitate,” [state labor commissioner Brad] Avakian said. “For those who do violate the law, we want them to learn from that experience and have a good, successful business in Oregon.”

For the People's Republic of Oregon, this is a Great Leap Forward!
cakes are now public accommodations?
Since when can a state force someone to do business with someone else? It's illegal to turn down a project? What?
What's next, is the government going to force banks to loan money to people that will never be able to make payments on the loan?
Oregon To “Rehabilitate” Businesses Opposed To Gay Marriage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First they want to rehabilitate business. Next it will be individuals. Then Churches.
Or will it be Churches first, then individuals?
Hey Guv!
You gonna use the Mao model for your re-education camps?
Are they going to be made to watch gay porn while listening to Barry White music?
Another option would be to sell the business and move to another state.
The website makes it very clear that this is a Christian business:
So it quickly becomes apparent that this incident is a provocation manufactured by the homosexual lobby to intimidate Christian businesses.
Whatever happened to “We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone”?
Demanding acceptance and sanction of sodomy (not the same as refraining from making sodomy among consenting adults a crime) is on a parallel track with Christian persecution and outlawing the Bible as a “hate” book. Those that know better must “rehabilitate” those that don’t. Our freedoms and the future of our society are at stake.
They are the same damn thing!
Churches are their MAIN target but theyre trying to approach the REHAB of the Christian Church in what they think to be an oblique manner.
however Values must be Rehabilitated wherever they are encountered
In other news, sales of Juden armbands and also armbands with a cross on them skyrocket.
This has happened to a florist and a bed and breakfast in other States. Probably more but that’s all I know of. I’m pretty sure that the LGBT are shopping around for caterers for their weddings until they find one that refuses service so that they can be prosecuted.
Who knew that the former Great State of Oregon would be the first state to introduce "re-education camps " !!
Perhaps the State House should have a sign overhead that states "Reject all Religious principles ,all ye who enter here !".
It would appear that Humanism suppleplants Spirituality in Oregon.
“…It was an economic emergency law which said that people were forbidden to discriminate for any reason whatever against any person in any matter involving his livelihood. It was used to protect day laborers and such, but it applied to me and my partners as well, didn’t it? So we went to court, and we testified about all the bad breaks we’d all had in the past, and I quoted Mulligan [the bank president] saying that I couldn’t even own a vegetable pushcart, and proved that all the members of the Amalgamated Service corporation [the speculators] had no prestige, no credit, no way to make a living — and, therefore, the purchase of the motor factory was our only chance of livelihood — and, therefore, Midas Mulligan had no right to discriminate against us–and, therefore, we were entitled to demand a loan from him under the law. …[they lose in court] … But we appealed to a higher court…and the higher court reversed the verdict and ordered Mulligan to give us the loan on our terms.”
The churches will be rehabilitated into Temples of Reason like they were during the Reign of Terror, er the AGE of “Enlightenment”.
big brother says screw your religious rights.
why are muslims allowed to live their values in all aspects of life, and yet christians can’t?
just another reason for RESET.
They should move to Seattle where the Mayor says police will enforce the “rules of the business” against trespassers who don’t obey the Gun Free Zone sign.
Move all bakeries or Place all bakeries in churches or on [leased] church properties
No govt can arrest or force or order anyone or any entity under sanctuary rules.
If phony "sanctuary" cities and groups can LEGALLY shield illegal aliens from the government, {SF, etc}
SURE AS HELL a REAL SANCTUARY can SHIELD A LEGAL ENITITY AND LEGAL CITIZENS FRON TYRANNY!>
