TOTAL: $150,000
Next question: What if they refuse to pay?
Why aren’t Republicans and conservatives highlighting these stories?
So since Americans have a right to own guns, do gun shops have to sell to anyone?
Since alcoholism is a disability, do liquor stores and bars have to serve drunks?
If people can cross our border illegally and get away with it, why are bakers required to make cakes?
I would imagine that they would get their wages taken out automatically. If they couldn’t pay, they would end up in jail. I think they should appeal until they don’t have any appeals left. That should get them at least 5-10 years and by then 150K will be like 20K.
it’s a private business that serves its clients.
it’s not a “place of public accomodation” like a park or rental space.
further the way to get around this is either to state clearly they don’t have the expertise/skilset to properly do (whatever), or state that that kind of thing falls under their advanced/special services area, which costs a minimum of at least $100,000 to start. they do have the right to specify special services and special packages and set the price however they want, nobody is forced to buy it. Unless businesses can’t determine what they consider normal or special services, and can’t set their own prices anymore.
Case needs to appealed. Hope a good lawyer takes it on Pro Bono!
They can always go bankrupt.
They’d go to jail if they don’t pay. I’d like to see what happens if these people go to jail for not making a gay cake. They would become martyrs.
File a law suit when eating just cake is not enough.
Generally, I’m more of a libertarian so I know I get into trouble here where I don’t have a problem with same sex marriage here. However, I do support people to have the right to follow their conscience like these bakers who refuse to bake a cake for a same sex wedding. Instead of raising a stink about it or making a law, the idea under our capitalist system is to find another baker who will do it or do it on their own. Forcing people to go against their principles and conscience is wrong. No one should be forced by the law to do this.
Sell cakes without the “couple” on the top. Let the purchaser choose their own. Since you rarely get requests for two female figures, it’d be understandable if you were temporarily out of them. Offer a discount equal to the cost of buying the figures somewhere else if you don’t have one.
If I was forced to bake a cake for a couple of faggots the cream in the recipe would be real 100% Man-Cream™ and I would laugh watching them eat it.
Aaron and Melissa Klein were also investigated for unlawful communication of “future intention to discriminate based on sexual orientation” due to past media interviews during which they discussed the situation and their faith-based opposition to homosexuality, though they will not be punished for speaking out on the issue.
wow, the homosexuals really love freedom!!!!!!!!!!!!/s
Just tell them “I’ll do it, but when I do cakes with a homosexual theme my hand shakes and I get spitting mad.”
Who is their home church or district or parish? This is a justice issue and that church ...national level should go to bat for them...does it not think God will have their backs?
Since when is private property a “place of public accommodation”? When the Statists say it is.
Soviet-style bullies! Is there a shortage of bakeries in Oregon we are unaware of??
