No because there is not enough mass outrage shown in that state from fellow Christians.
Just watch how it's done had it happened to a Muslim baker...
That is why it is best for them to leave that state.
An outrage.
RE: That is why it is best for them to leave that state.
There are not many states to move to then (except maybe Texas ). New Mexico, Colorado, Iowa, etc. you name it... there are lawsuits against Christian photographers, florists and lodge owners by gay couples.
And now with the whole thing federalized by 5 justices and an unsympathetic White House, I don’t think there’s anywhere else to move to....
The only solution as I see it is for devout Christians to show UNITY. STAND AND FIGHT.
But where is this unity?
There is no equivalent of a NAACP or CAIR at all...
I still say move because there will be less hostle issues. I stand on my position.
there is no Christian organization
all have been co opted by the left
Yes they do, because, according to the article, the BOLI group has no power of law.
If I were the Klein’s, I would ignore the BOLI blathering and talk freely.
Look at the platform they’ve been given. Imagine the joy the disciples and the Apostle Paul would have written about if they had been given a chance to be on national television and share the gospel of Christ.
Have doctors in OR been forced to perform abortions against their religious beliefs?
And, since, per the article, the BOLI group has no power of law, I also would move (to Texas).
David French is one of my favorite columnists now.

All things are possible with God.
I’d do the same. If they come after me I hooked it’s a violation of my first amendment rights.
Just as liberal professors now find themselves under attack by their students for perceived microagression, so too will bureaucracies soon find themselves defending themselves against discrimination.
This POS bureaucrat should himself be charged with substantial evidence of unlawful discrimination against Christians, depriving the couple of their civil rights and violating the 1st, 7th and 8th Amendments.
Next, there has to be more Bundy Ranch showdowns. Peaceful, of course. Let the bureaucracy try to enforce their ruling.
But running away, no! Where could you run to?
While judges act with the power of both judge and politician. The implicit, "It would be more fairer before a judge," is not true.
This is an open-and-shut Federal constitutional case, and, if appealed, I expect them to win easily.
If I were them I would cash out every thing I owned pile all the money in a big pile and publicly burn it, then go sign up for welfare, before I let those dykes or the court ever see one red cent...(maybe not the most Christian sentiment, but heck I’m a backslid baptist...)
This DEFINITELY deserves repeating:
“All things are possible with God.”
And he could there do no mighty work. . . because of their unbelief (Mk. 6:5-6).
