Sweet Cakes by Melissa

The Supreme Court has once again avoided taking up a case of a religious business owner refusing to serve a gay couple.

There are cases on workplace discrimination, trans bathroom rights and (of course) gay wedding cake.

They raised half a million dollars for their case, but Aaron and Melissa Klein are still trying to worm out of paying the cost of losing.

Even though they’re used in a ceremony, they “are still cakes made to be eaten” and they aren’t “art” if the customer tells you what to make.

The community will be on pins and needles until the Supreme Court decides whether or not Christians can refuse to serve LGBT people in their businesses.

Right wing pundits are up in arms about Sweet Cakes by Melissa closing, casting them as victims even though they’ve raked in over $420K from supporters.

While the legal battle continues, Sweet Cakes by Melissa publicizes that it is out of business for good.

“We’ve decided to speak out for one primary reason: We don’t want any person or family to go what we’ve gone through.”

The shop owner looked the customer up on Facebook, saw she was married to a woman, and texted to say she wouldn’t bake a cake for a “same-sex party.”

The Oregon lesbian couple whose discrimination case sparked a national debate about religious freedom and LGBTQ equality, read from the hate mail they continue to receive.
