Anti Gay Bakery Forced To Pay $130K Fine For Refusing To Make Cake For Lesbian Wedding

Written by December 29th 2017

An Oregon judge has decided that Sweet Cakes by Melissa pastry shop in Portland will be compelled to pay a $135,000 fine to refuse to prepare a cake for a lesbian wedding, said KOIN Channel 6 on Thursday.

Aaron and Melissa Klein shut their pastry shop and requested the fine — which they paid in 2015 yet which has been held by the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries from that point forward.

Be that as it may, a board of three judges — Joel DeVore, Chris Garrett and Bronson James — decided for offended parties Laurel and Rachel Bowman-Pryor, whose 2013 wedding the Kleins declined to prepare a cake for, starting a national contention.

Moreover, the judges found that the Kleins purposefully delivered enthusiastic mischief on the Bowman-Pryors by sharing their address and contact data on the web and encouraging Christians to assault the couple with despise mail and attempt to have their youngsters taken away.
