Oregon Labor Commissioner Loses Election After Shutting Down Christian Bakery

 

Reports of Oregon Labor Commissioner, Brad Avakian, running for Secretary of State and losing his election bid after levying a stiff fine on a local bakery that refused to make a wedding cake for a lesbian couple.

Avakian

The reports are real, according to a Nov. 15, 2016 article by CNN, which said, Avakian, in support of the LBTG comunity, went after business that refused service to homosexual and transgendered customers. CNN said, "The most noteworthy was when Sweet Cakes by Melissa refused to make the wedding cake for the same-sex couple in 2013, citing the owners' religious beliefs. Shop owners Melissa and Aaron Klein were ordered to pay $135,000 in emotional damages. They were also told they couldn't refuse customers based on sexual orientation."

CNN reported that "Avakian was also responsible for slamming a $400,000 fine on a Portland bar owner who refused service to transgender customers."

GOP candidate Dennis Richardson received 48% of the votes in the election, "beating Avakian by nearly 100,000 votes." This according to the CNN article that said, "The victory makes Richardson the first Republican to win a statewide office in Oregon since 2002."
