[quote=Anonymous]Everything you know about the GLBT wedding cake case in Oregon is wrong.

An Oregon bakery wasn't fined $135,000 for refusing to make a gay wedding cake. They were not fined for discrimination at all. They were fined $135,000 because, after they got notice that the state was investigating a discrimination complaint against them, they went to the national media and started a harassment campaign against the plaintiffs.  Let me repeat:  they were fined for harassing the plaintiffs. Oregon didn't bother to calculate the fine for the discrimination; it would have been small change compared to the fine for running a national campaign of harassment in an attempt to get out of the discrimination complaint.

This issue wasn't about persecuting Christians all. The same agency issued an earlier fine of more than twice that much against a dentist's office that discriminated against a Christian employee. Discrimination is illegal, but less serious It is a serious offense to try to harass people out of testifying against you in a discrimination complaint by publicizing their names in the national media.
