An appellate court Thursday upheld a penalty against Oregon bakery owners who refused to make a cake for a same-sex wedding almost five years ago.

The owners of the since-closed Gresham bakery - Aaron and Melissa Klein - argued that state Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian violated state and federal laws by forcing them to pay emotional-distress damages of $135,000 to the lesbian couple Rachel and Laurel Bowman-Cryer.

I'm certain the judge would be holding me in contempt for whipping my dick out and telling him to blow me.

I am starting to think gay couples are targeting these places to cause a ruckus.

I wish I could get $135k for my "emotional distress" when Reggie's wouldn't let me in for violating the dress code prohibition against "all white tennis shoes".

They should file a "Petiton for Rehearing Because the Panel Was fricking Retarded."

Well they raised almost half a million dollars thru one Go Fund Me drive. They may have had others, I can't remember. Regardless, they can afford the fine with the windfall they've received.

Both sides in this suck.

Money to be never seen.

All the judge did was put an American family out of business.

Enjoy paying for their welfare Judge.

They probably passed 10 bakeries that would've loved to bake them a cake. Victims looking for a crime.

It's called Jizya in Muslim countries and damages for emotional distress in liberal western ones...

This is exactly why I stopped supporting ghey marriage. It’s not about equality. It’s about sticking it to religious people that disagree with it.

So basically these peoples lives should be ruined forever over baking a cake for mentally ill sex degenerates while an illegal immigrant can murder a young beautiful white girl with no repercussions
