Melissa Klein, owner of the embattled Sweetcakes by Melissa bakery,
explained on Monday why she and her husband, Aaron, continue to ignore a
$135,000 judgement imposed over their refusal to make a lesbian wedding
cake, saying that they don’t want to set a bad precedent.
“We feel like we shouldn’t have to pay when we haven’t even gotten
due process,” Klein told TheBlaze. “We also feel like we’re taking a
stand for the next person … that this could happen to. We don’t want to
set a precedent.”
She continued, “We want to fight this, and we want to fight this all the way.”
Her comments were in response to Oregon Bureau of Labor and
Industries spokesman Charlie Burr, who recently told the Daily Signal
that the agency is “exploring collection options,” which could set the
stage for the government to go after the Kleins’ home and assets.

Welcome to H&C,,, where I aggregate news of interest. Primary topics include abuse with "the church", LGBTQI+ issues, cults - including anti-vaxxers, and the Dominionist and Theocratic movements. Also of concern is the anti-science movement with interest in those that promote garbage like homeopathy, chiropractic and the like. I am an atheist and anti-theist who believes religious mythos must be die and a strong supporter of SOCAS.
