I’m really getting tired of being right on things like this. The basics of this story is that the bakers were fined $135,000 for refusing to bake the wedding cake for a gay wedding. From everything I’ve been able to learn – and I’ve followed this story since it originally broke, this particular case, at least, is a real religious objection.
In addition to the fine, though, Oregon slapped a gag order on the couple prohibiting them from even talking about the case. Yes, not only the religious liberty side of the First Amendment has been compromised, but their free speech rights have been excluded as well. In this case, there is no compelling interest for shutting them up except that it is politically embarrassing for the State of Oregon. This is the precise reason that the First Amendment exists.
That we even know about this, means that they have obviously violated the order. The good news is that according to the couple God is providing for them. However, they have had to ask themselves will they be willing to be jailed for their belief in God. Their answer is, “Yes.” What’s yours?
