“Equality” commissions have quickly followed the tracks of their Canadian cousins and become kangaroo courts that serve as judge, jury, and executioner in their quest to stomp out thought-crime against those who do not praise homosexuality or same-sex marriage.
Evidence has now come to light that rather that be “fair” and “impartial”, they are Social Justice crusaders out to find and punish people for lack of sufficient celebration of same-sex marriage:
“Communications between the agency, the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries, and the LGBT organization, Basic Rights Oregon, raise questions about potential bias in the state’s decision to charge the Kleins with discrimination for refusing to make a cake for a same-sex wedding.
“In April, a judge for the agency recommended the Kleins be fined $135,000.
“Communiations obtained through a public records request show employees of the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries—which pursued the case against the Kleins—participating in phone calls, texting, and attending meetings with Basic Rights Oregon, the largest LGBT advocacy group in the state.”
Of note, the bakers refused to bake the cake at a time when same-sex marriage was not legal in Oregon.
