Because if you're gay, they could total out to $135,000.

http://5newsonline.com/2015/12/29/bakery-pays-135000-after-denying-service-to-same-sex-couple/

quote:

An Oregon bakery ponyed up — six months late — after refusing to pay $135,000 in state-ordered damages for denying service to a same-sex couple.

Aaron Klein, co-owner of the Sweet Cakes by Melissa, dropped off a check Monday (Dec. 28) for $136,927.07, which includes accrued interest, according to KPIX. Klein also paid $7,000 earlier this month.

In July, Aaron and Melissa Klein were ordered to pay for causing emotional suffering to Laurel and Rachel Bowman-Cryer when the bakery refused to make the couple a wedding cake in 2013, KPIX reported. The Kleins said they refused because of their religious beliefs.

Oregon legislators passed a law in 2007 that protects lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people from discrimination in housing, employment, and businesses.

I am emotionally damaged and desire compensation from Lowtax for having to read posts in DnD. My damages should come out to about 1 million dollars.

How does one calculate emotional damage into monies, I wonder? I mean surely they have some kind of formula for this, at least, I sure hope they don't pull these amounts out of a hat.

I think the penalty is vastly more than is really warranted but I also have no money to donate to them nor would I because like...Oregon? Yeah you don't need my money.

That's an amazing scam they pulled off together.

almost 40% of the compensation for the Christian emotional suffering lawsuit (with half as many victims) that was the justification for this ruling
http://www.oregon.gov/boli/SiteAssets/pages/press/Sweet%20Cakes%20FO.pdf


gays getting about 1/5 of what Christians get under similar circumstances is hysterically over the top and frivolous anti-Christian bigotry and political corectness run amok, tbh, thanks for exposing it with a lil humor, my racist uncle over christmas dinner

Yeah, that's not about emotional damages having a dollar value. That's a social sanction that they were forced to pay for being stupid bigots and illegally discriminating. Sorry fuckers, NOWHERE ANYWHERE IN ANY GODDAMN RELIGION DOES IT SAY, YOU CAN'T BAKE A PRETTY CAKE FOR SOME LEZZIES!
