An Oregon baker accused of discriminating against a same-sex couple by
refusing to make their wedding cake broke down in tears as she talked
about the repercussions of the faith-based decision.
"For me personally, when I would sit down with [a customer], I just
would want to know everything about her wedding," Melissa Klein said at
last week's Values Voter Summit.
"I'd want to know about the flowers, her dress, the centerpieces, her
colors, the way her hair is going to be. I would even want to talk about
"where are you going on your honeymoon?'
At that point, Klein began to sob.
The Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries earlier this year found
"substantial evidence" that Klein and her husband, Aaron, owners of
Sweet Cakes by Melissa, discriminated against the lesbian couple. The
Kleins now face a fine in excess of $150,000.
Aaron Klein told the
Daily Signal the fee would "definitely" be enough to bankrupt the couple and their five children.
"It's horrible to see your own government doing this to you," he added.
