And along the lines of shut up, sit down, and go out of business.....
An Oregon bakery has been fined $135,000 for not baking a wedding cake for a lesbian couple. They got the fine to such a high amount based on the couple's list of associated maladies; "acute loss of confidence,” “doubt,” “excessive sleep,” “felt mentally raped, dirty and shameful,” “high blood pressure,” “impaired digestion,” “loss of appetite,” “migraine headaches,” “pale and sick at home after work,” “resumption of smoking habit,” “shock” “stunned,” “surprise,” “uncertainty,” “weight gain” and “worry." Hell, isn't that just a double dose of menstruation?
Far worse, the couple has been ordered by The Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries, to "cease and desist from publishing, circulating, issuing or displaying, or causing to be published … any communication to the effect that any of the accommodations … will be refused, withheld from or denied to, or that any discrimination be made against, any person on account of their sexual orientation." This was stemming from a radio appearance the bakery owners made where they discussed their religious beliefs. So now they have been ordered to shut up.
This bakery is in Gresham, Or. Lol. You think there might be a few other bakeries for this couple to choose from? This is why lawsuits will get worse. Because it's really not about accommodating, there are plenty of places to do that, it's about calling out, shaming, suing, forcing acceptance.
