Appeals Court Decides Against Oregon Bakers
trunews.com
Sweet Cakes by Melissa owners Melissa and Aaron Klein faced another legal setback Thursday after a three-judge panel of the Oregon Court of Appeals decided the state’s Bureau of Labor and Industries acted appropriately in fining the business $135,000 for refusing to make a same-sex “wedding” cake.
The Kleins, who are Christians and hold to biblical views of human sexuality and marriage, were forced to close their business after they were fined. Outside of a minor technicality involving a gag order placed over the couple, the court determined the OBLI took the correct action when it determined they had committed illegal discrimination.
The couple has been represented by former President George H. W. Bush’s White House Counsel Boyden Gray, who has volunteered on behalf of First Liberty Institute. First Liberty President and CEO Kelly Shackelford responded to the court’s decision, saying:
"Freedom of expression for ourselves should require freedom of expression for others. Today, the Oregon Court of Appeals decided that Aaron and Melissa Klein are not entitled to the Constitution’s promises of religious liberty and free speech."
