"Back in April, Aaron and Melissa Klein, the owners of “Sweet Cakes” in Oregon were fined $135,000 for refusing to bake a cake for a gay wedding.
"This was a violation of Oregon State law, which bans same-sex discrimination. The fine bankrupted the couple and they have since closed their doors.
"But because they believed their First Amendment rights were in jeopardy – specifically the right to assert their religious beliefs by not participating in a gay wedding – they wanted to continue to fight in court.
"During a media interview about their continued legal struggle, Aaron Klein said: “The fight is not over. We will continue to stand strong.”
"Apparently, by uttering that statement, Aaron Klein has again broken Oregon law and a bureaucrat has slapped a “cease and desist” order against him for making similar statements.
"The state law bans people from even saying or suggesting that they intend to discriminate against anyone.
"TruthRevolt is reporting that Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian ordered the couple to stop speaking about their objections to the case." . . .
Is it fair to say this nation fought a revolution over less than this?
