Yes I was referring to post 12
It has been banned in Oregon and Brad Avakian will use the long arm statute to go after any site that publishes it where it might be seen in Oregon.

RE: If I owned the bakery I’d put a large sign stating my beliefs in plain English.
Would that include believing that marriage is only for one man and one woman?
Gay marriage is not a salient issue to me. I don’t care. And I’m not religious. I do have major issues with judicial activism, however. I believe that marriage was formed in order to promote a stable society and to produce children. That’s why the government confers benefits to married people.
I still don’t understand why anyone would want to force someone to make them a food item.
RE: I still don’t understand why anyone would want to force someone to make them a food item.
Understand this — It is NOT about the wedding cake. The lesbian couple had MANY OTHER bakers who would do this for them.
It is about FORCING ACCEPTANCE of a lifestyle and NATIONALIZING it.
Of course it is. Otherwise it makes no sense.
Each person here should be working hard to get State Legislatures to enact SHIELD laws to prevent the craziness this author describes is good.. Shield Laws and laws to change from marriage licensing to after the fact marriage contract registration done on line or at a computer kiosk in the county clerks office — DONE DIY ...
Also get laws changed to remove the certification or licensing to perform marriage — do it in a church ... If anyone can marry then anyone can marry a couple.
Get government and business OUT OF THE MARRY BUSINESS.
So what about all those places that have the sign that reads, “We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone”
Do they have to put a disclaimer(unless you happen to be gay, muslim or an illegal immigrant-then we are required by law to do your bidding)
Because it’s not about the food item. They never intended to use the cake. It’s about finding someone who says they won’t bake the cake, then suing them.
So.... can two men who are not gay get married ?
These people are not looking for someone to bake them a cake. They are looking for someone to refuse to bake them a cake.
Gays are so screwed.
Actually, the LAW is that if the bartender gives someone obviously drunk ANOTHER DRINK, and that drunk kills someone in an accident, the Bartender can lose their license and be held accountable for the death.
I.E. The bartender has a legal right, and duty to REFUSE SERVICE.
A gunshop owner can REFUSE to sell you a gun, by LAW.
Ergo we already have precedents in place supporting any kind of business owner’s right to REFUSE SERVICE.
In the first example you may have a case because that is discrimination based on religiouos beliefs, which is illegal. In the second two the bakers can refuse without fear of government interference because Klan members and Nazis are not a protected class.
Yes. I’m sure they will eventually be more prevalent.
What about marrying more than one person ?
That way I could marry one person just for the sex, and the other for the money.
Already being done in 20% of the world.
