“The goal is to rehabilitate,” said the bureaucrat about a
Christian-owned bakery that refused to bake a cake for a lesbian
wedding. The man who uttered that comment was Oregon labor commissioner Brad Avakian, and he’s obviously
come to bear the secular man’s burden. He insists he doesn’t want to put
the bakery, Sweet Cakes by Melissa, out of business. He just wants
owner Aaron Klein and his wife Melissa to think doubleplusgood thoughts.
But now the Kleins have in fact shuttered their doors in deference to
their principles and a local community that has all the wrong ones.
Unfortunately, such stories are becoming more common. Just yesterday, in fact, the San Antonio City Council passed an ordinance
prohibiting business owners with faith-based policies against
homosexuality and “transgenderism” from engaging in commerce in the
city. It’s the realization of a prediction homosexual activists made in
the 1989 book After the Ball. To wit: Once they could “produce a
major realignment solidly in favour of gay rights, the intransigents
(like the racists of twenty years ago) will eventually be effectively
silenced by both law and polite society.” And this is where I’d normally
start writing about freedom of association, but today I want to address
something else first: a novel way to fight back against the statist
equality jackboots.
