Oregon bakery owners forced to pay $135,000 for refusing to bake same sex wedding cake.

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jul/04/oregon-bakery-same-sex-marriage-lawsuit http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-oregon-bakery-wedding-cake-20150703-story.html http://www.oregonlive.com/business/index.ssf/2015/07/sweet_cakes_same-sex_discrimin.html 135,000 dollars cause they refused to bake a cake? Under the law they have to bake the cake (I think) but that lawsuit is insane. Who thinks this is fair? And who thinks this is too much? Edit: This started back in 2013 and they don't own the bakery anymore. Edit: I've heard that the coupe started to get death threats sent to their address so if that's the case then the amount would be justified. I also posted more articles

  • here's the case details. looks like the bakery publicly shared the customers' personal information, which is what a bulk of the damages seem to be for. http://www.rawstory.com/2015/07/oregon-bakers-werent-fined-over-cake-they-were-punished-for-sharing-lesbian-couples-home-address/ http://www.oregon.gov/boli/SiteAssets/pages/press/Sweet%20Cakes%20FO.pdf
