After two years in court, a judge in Oregon fined Aaron and Melissa Klein, of Sweet Cakes By Melissa, $135,000 for discriminating against a same-sex couple by refusing to bake a wedding cake for them. The Kleins posted a link to a GoFundMe fundraising campaign on their Facebook page and it quickly raised over $100,000 before it was cancelled –by GoFundMe. GoFundMe says it does not allow money to be raised for people who have been convicted of breaking the law:
“After careful review by our team, we have found the ‘Support Sweet Cakes By Melissa’ campaign to be in violation of our Terms and Conditions. The money raised thus far will still be made available for withdrawal. While a different campaign was recently permitted for a pizzeria in Indiana, no laws were violated and the campaign remained live. However, the subjects of the ‘Support Sweet Cakes By Melissa’ campaign have been formally charged by local authorities and found to be in violation of Oregon state law concerning discriminatory acts. Accordingly, the campaign has been disabled.”
Upon learning the news, the Kleins said:
“Evidently Go fund me has shut down our Go fund me page and will not let us raise any money. Satan’s really at work but I know our God has a plan and wins in the end!”
If that’s the case, I have to say that I think Satan is doing God’s work. Can I get an Amen!?
