Melissa and Aaron Klein lost their case because uunder Oregon law, businesses cannot discriminate or refuse service based on sexual orientation, just as they cannot turn customers away because of race, sex, disability, age or religion.
Oregon Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian explicitly
stated that Oregon laws prohibit refusal of service to protected classes for discriminatory reasons:
This case is not about a wedding cake or a marriage. It is about a business's refusal to serve someone because of their sexual orientation. Under Oregon law, that is illegal.
Within Oregon's public accommodations law is the basic principle of human decency that every person, regardless of their sexual orientation, has the freedom to fully participate in society. The ability to enter public places, to shop, to dine, to move about unfettered by bigotry.
It then turned into harassment when the Klein's posted the details on their Facebook page. That's why the penalties they were ordered to pay were for damages not fines.
What you and other wingers never mention is these laws work both ways. The Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries ruled against a Bend dentist In the Matter of Andrew W. Engle. In that case, BOLI awarded a Christian employee $325,000 in damages for physical, mental and emotion suffering due to religious discrimination and harassment.
As far as Robert Byrd is concerned yes, he was in the KKK, but repeatedly apologized for it spent the remainder of his career working for equal justice. Because of Byrd’s evolution on race and equality, the NAACP issued a
statement praising him at the time of his death.
Senator Byrd came to consistently support the NAACP civil rights agenda, doing well on the NAACP Annual Civil Rights Report Card,” said Hilary O. Shelton, director of the NAACP Washington bureau and senior vice president for advocacy and policy. “He stood with us on many issues of crucial importance to our members from the reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act, the historic health care legislation of 2010 and his support for the Hate Crimes Prevention legislation.
Why are Trump supporters refusing to evolve, is it beacause they don't believe in evolution?
