Over the past year or so, there has been an amplifying situation between the LGBTQ community and Christian businesses. It hit a boiling point when Indiana passed the Religious Freedom Law, as reported by the Inquisitr, which led to a debacle with Memories Pizza.

Now, the latest news about the LGBTQ community versus Christian businesses is returning back to the business that initiated the situation: Sweet Cakes By Melissa. Reports now show that a lesbian couple, who were refused a wedding cake by bakery Sweet Cakes, claim “mental rape.” Not only that, Sweet Cakes will also have to pay the lesbian couple a total of $135,000 after court hearings.

According to Oregonian, Rachel Bowman-Cryer and her wife, Laurel Bowman-Cryer, will receive a total of $135,000 in damages for their emotional suffering, as stated by a hearings officer. Specifically, Rachel will get $75,000, while Laurel will get $60,000 from the owners of Sweet Cakes By Melissa. Originally, prosecutors from the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) sought $75,000 for each women — a total of $150,000 — during a hearing on damages back in March.

Mental rape? These two were in it for the money and fame within the 'community'.

Well, this is by far the stupidest court case I've ever heard of.

Disgusting - but sadly all-too common.


Now that we've created a strong financial incentive, expect targeting of Christian businesses in the future.
 
Re: Same-Sex Couple Claim ‘Mental Rape’ And Will Get $135,000 After Sweet Cakes By Me

If I was the judge I would declare that everyone in the court room was mentally raped for having to deal with their stupidity.
 
Re: Same-Sex Couple Claim ‘Mental Rape’ And Will Get $135,000 After Sweet Cakes By Me

Mental rape??? What a load of crap.
 
Re: Same-Sex Couple Claim ‘Mental Rape’ And Will Get $135,000 After Sweet Cakes By Me

Their case centers on discrimination, not rape. Their rather poor articulation aside, the real story is about public accommodation laws.
 
Re: Same-Sex Couple Claim ‘Mental Rape’ And Will Get $135,000 After Sweet Cakes By Me

I really really hate when people thoroughly misuse a word like "rape" in this way. It's an insult to the real pain and suffering that real rape victims have to deal with.
 
Re: Same-Sex Couple Claim ‘Mental Rape’ And Will Get $135,000 After Sweet Cakes By Me

The long list of symptoms included “acute loss of confidence,” “doubt,” “excessive sleep,” “felt mentally raped, dirty and shameful,” “high blood pressure,” “impaired digestion,” “loss of appetite,” “migraine headaches,” “pale and sick at home after work,” “resumption of smoking habit,” “shock,” “stunned,” “surprise,” “uncertainty,” “weight gain” and “worry.”

^^ *massive eyeroll*
 
Re: Same-Sex Couple Claim ‘Mental Rape’ And Will Get $135,000 After Sweet Cakes By Me

Don't discriminate against people and you won't be punished for it.

Simple lesson.

I'm sure God understands.

God completely understands "a woman shall not lie with woman as she would a man" Much less lie about getting raped.

Oh the humanity of someone refusing to bake a cake for you. What has the world come to when people say no to trade? :lamo It's just so horrible that those meanies need to lose over 100 grand. Grrrr..

Don't forget that all of this is totally comparable to rape. Totally.

I wonder how much Muslim bakeries will have to fork over under similar circumstances.

Oh that's right, it appears they are not targets of the agenda.

Never mind.

The Left always goes for the side of evil and they won't admit that sin even exist.

I'll see your Levitical law and raise to Matthew 22.

You can hem and haw like the Pharisees all you want, at the end of the day the Great Commandment is the Great Commandment.

If God is going to punish homosexuals then I say leave the punishing to Him.

He doesn't need any help from you, me, or a bigoted baker.

Much less lie about getting raped.

I'm sure God holds a special place in hell for folks who use bad simile.

Again, my position is that we leave that kind of condemnation to Him.

If they suffered all of that over a cake, they might want to consider classes to toughen them up for how to live in the world around them.

Then leave those of faith out of this so-called-law.

And people who dangle their participles too.


Don't think it's a simile btw since it wasn't used as a comparison. They claimed they were "mentally raped." Though not being an English major I could be wrong.

Yup. Open season on Christian businesses has now been declared.

I'd expect similar cases to come up like once a week. I'd also expect a long list of harassment incidences, bullying and disruption in an attempt to get Christian business owners to do something, anything, that could be grounds for a law suite, no matter how frivolous.

But now that the mainstream media's focus has moved on, there'll be no reporting of it.

It's one thing to leave aside judging others, for their sins, when you are not affected by them.

It is a whole other thing entirely to be compelled to actively participate in and support that which you know is wrong.

Perhaps you are right that I should leave it to God to judge others, and not judge them myself.

But if I take actions that encourage or support evil, then God will certainly judge me for doing so.

It is rather interesting, I note, that you would speak against judging sexual perverts, and yet you will harshly judge a “bigoted baker” for refusing to support that perversion. You might want to do something about that beam in your eye.

Perhaps the business shouldn't have violated the anti-discrimination laws of the state?

Gays are the new Blacks. The whining is the same, the mantra different.

Instead of a race card, they have the Gay Card.
Instead of "White man keeping us down", it's "Straight people not giving us cake".
