Remember the Kleins, the Oregon Christian family that used to operate a bakery before the Lavender Lobby persecuted them into bankruptcy? Much like the outpouring of public moral and financial support that upheld the O'Connor family and their Memories Pizza business after they suffered a leftwingnut hate storm that included death and arson threats, supporters of the Kleins were raising money for them to defray the insane fines and costs inflicted upon them by the homofascists using a website called "Go Fund Me" specifically designed for that purpose.
So - and it wasn't difficult to see this coming - the rump ranger radicals threatened to destroy Go Fund Me if they didn't cut off the fundraising account for the Kleins. And the terrorized GFM caved:
An effort to raise money online for an Oregon bakery which may have to pay $135,000 for refusing to bake a cake for a lesbian couple was shut down on Saturday after gay rights activists complained to the fundraising company, Go Fund Me.
Approximately $109,000 had been raised on behalf of “Sweet Cakes by Melissa,” a Christian-themed bakery owned by Aaron and Melissa Klein in Gresham, Oregon.
The campaign was set up Friday after the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries issued a preliminary order that the Kleins should have to pay $135,000 to a lesbian couple who filed a discrimination complaint against the bakery in August 2013....
A spokeswoman for Go Fund Me said that the fundraising campaign violates the company’s terms of service.
According to those terms, “Campaigns in defense of formal charges of heinous crimes, including violent, hateful, or sexual acts” are prohibited. [emphasis added]
The Kleins politely declined to bake a cake for a lesbo "wedding" on religious conscience grounds. Something neither "heinous" nor violent nor hateful nor sexual nor a "crime". Or at least, it didn't used to be. Can we conclude from this that Christianity has now been officially banned in Oregon? Doesn't sound like we're that far away from it, does it?
The "crime" part, by the way, was GFM's alibi for why they didn't similarly cut off the O'Connors, since they weren't actually charged with anything. But there is the matter of "Hot Convict" Jeremy Meeks, a California man convicted of federal weapons charges and sentenced to two years in the slammer last year, whose mother is using GFM to raise six grand and counting to lobby for his release. Kinda difficult to see how this isn't a violation of GFM's terms of service but the Kleins' fundraising effort is - until you look at the Meeks page:
"Free Jeremy Meeks" doesn't violate GFM's terms of service because "social justice". "Support Sweet Cakes By Melissa" does because "mental rape".
As I keep saying, "Right tribe, wrong tribe". And if you're of the wrong tribe, you have no rights.
The good news is, Samaritan's Purse has stepped in and taken over the fundraising campaign, bringing in an additional sixty six grand for the Kleins. The bad news? We can expect SP's website to be hacked and trashed, their offices threatened with looting and arson, and their employees, up to and including the Reverend Franklin Graham, threatened with martyrdom.
The miracle? That the Kleins are still alive.
Exit question: How long until they have to go into hiding? Or, alternatively, have their five children seized by the State of Oregon on "child abuse" grounds for raising them to believe in Jesus Christ?
UPDATE: Remember Barronelle Stutzman, the Christian florist and grandmother from my neck of the woods also being crucified for refusing to vocationally celebrate sodomarriage? Go F*** Me pulled her plug as well.
