The baker's are being subjected to a huge, crippling fine to compensate the same sex couple for their disappointment. Surely this must be the finding of a court after the baker's were allowed to present a defense.

But wait, the lesbian couple must have demanded this exorbitant payoff.


So we have a bureaucrat crushing a small business to placate gay marriage zealots, a punishment far in excess of what the injured parties wanted. Welcome to the brave new world where gay marriage zealots dictate to government bureacracy and courts.

State Takes Legal Action to Seize $135K From Oregon Bakers

Two solutions to end all this nonsense if you're one of these peeps who has a prob with gay marriage.

#1 - Hang a sign sayin' a portion of all proceeds go to groups that fight for traditional marriage.

#2 - Make horrible cakes for gays. Make it bland and decorate it sloppy.

Eventually they'll stop coming to your place of business.

The lesbian couple is not blameless. They are the ones who could have simply gone to another bakery, but they insisted on making a big hairy deal out of it instead.

Actually these are not compensatory damages that arguably would have been well less than $100 but instead it's punative damages and it's not being awarded because the plaintiffs are a "lesbian" couple.

The punative damages are awarded because of a blatant and gross violation of the US Constitution and Statutory Laws where the bakers violated the civil rights of a person (couple) by refusing service as a public company. Punative damages are awarded to discourage the violations of the civil rights of the person by the enterprise and by other enterprises. Compensatory damages alone would not prevent the civil rights violation.

In point of fact the bakers are lucky they weren't prosecuted for the criminal violation of the civil rights of a person (couple) because they could have ended up in prison along with paying punative damages. Of course if they continue to refuse to pay they can end up in jail for contempt of court and their property can be siezed by the court to pay the plaintiffs.

Ten pounds of b.s. in a five pound bag. They aren't fighting for anything as noble as "civil rights". They have no right to access private property where they are not wanted and on top of that demand that another person serve them. They made a big deal out of this because someone dared disagree with them. Just more rights for me but not for thee liberal crap.

The business was open to the public. The business should have thought of that before they opened to the public. Why don't they care about other sins? I cannot convince myself this gay cake thing isn't anything other than simply a RW attempt to justify repealing Civil Rights.

The people didn't want their business open to the entire public, obviously, the law is making them and punishing them for not doing it. So much for property rights and freedom of association.
Who cares why they want to refuse service to some and not others, its not my property so its not my business. If they only want to serve blond haired asians over 6' tall, fine. If you don't like it, to f'ing bad, shop somewhere else.

Do you have a water fountain somewhere you want to hang a "whites only" sign over?
