McKinney was arrested and booked into a Multnomah County jail on a third-degree sex abuse accusation. She was later released on bail, according to the sheriff's office.

Oregon Pre-teens' Sex Ed used Porn, Parents Livid
Educators at Hudson Park Elementary School believed "It's Perfectly Normal" to teach fourth graders how to masturbate with picture books of naked kids and adults having sex, but after parents brought the "education" books (given to their children) to the school board, Rainier School District administrators decided to withdraw the books.

-- From "Sex ed books pulled from library shelves at Rainier elementary school" by Kaitlyn Bolduc, Reporter, KPTV-TV12 (Portland, OR) 4/14/16
The book in question, titled “It’s Perfectly Normal,” touts itself as a children’s book for ages 10 and up, that talks all about changing bodies, sex and sexual health.
Inside of the book are illustrations about all of those things, including pages of naked teens and adults, some depicting sex acts and even masturbation.
Officials with the Rainier School District noted the title is on the state approved list of books allowed at the school, but in a letter sent home to parents Thursday, the school’s principal admits they were inappropriately passed out to 4th graders in the library recently.

Darren Vaughn, who has a fifth-grade son at the school, said he learned from his neighbors that librarian Alison Dale-Moore had told several kids to look at the books. Vaughn, 43, of Rainier said his son later told him that the librarian had told several of his friends to take the books.
Vaughn said the books — including “It’s Perfectly Normal” and “It’s Not a Stork” — are “very graphic and explicit” for 10-year-olds. He said the books contain images of masturbation, condom usage, sexual intercourse and self examination.
“For example, “It’s Perfectly Normal” has a young female person bending over with a full view of her backside examining herself with a mirror,” he said. “There’s a young boy on a bed who is masturbating. It gets worse from there.”
[Vaughn] said several board members were in the dark about the books, despite the complaints being reported to Superintendent Michael Carter at the end of March.

Oregon Woman Fired for Being Pro-life Leader
After working four years at Sparkling Palaces, a Portland small business, Harmony Daws was fired from her position as operations manager when she told her employer, and close friend, that she had become a pro-life activist and her employer had read Daws' online writings.

Atheists Help Liberal Schools Ban Christmas Choirs
By threatening a lawsuit, the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) gave the Portland, Oregon school district the excuse it needed to forbid students from singing for the 28th Christmas at the local botanical garden Catholic shrine.
In contrast, the Concord Community Schools and the citizens of Elkhart, Indiana are standing up against a lawsuit just filed in federal court by the FFRF and the ACLU demanding censorship of the Nativity scene in the Christmas Spectacular performed at Concord High School for over 30 years.

Complaints from an out of state group has led Portland Public Schools to ban its choirs from singing at The Grotto in Northeast Portland.
The Grotto is a Catholic sanctuary and the district’s choirs perform there during The Christmas Festival of Lights. But not anymore.
“This legal complaint was brought against the venue that public school students were participating in. They felt it broke the religious boundary,” said Christine Miles, spokesperson for the district. She told KOIN 6 News the district will not challenge the complaint.
“Well, you know, we run into how do we want to best our very limited budget. Do we want to go to court on a case that we believe we could be in violation of? That would not be a good, fiscally responsible thing to do.”

Choirs from Lane Middle School and Grant, Cleveland, Wilson and Lincoln high schools were set to perform this year, according to district spokeswoman Christine Miles. . . .
Choir directors are disappointed that their students will miss out on performing in The Grotto's chapel, which is known for its high quality acoustics, Miles said. She said the district had never gotten a complaint about the festival before.
An online petition asking the district to allow choirs to sing at The Grotto had more than 1,060 signatures as of Friday morning. The petition describes the concert as a performance opportunity and annual tradition.

From "Christmas wars in October: School district sued over holiday show’s live Nativity" by Lindsey Bever, Washington Post 10/8/15
Each December, students at a northern Indiana high school step onstage for their winter concert. The band plays, and minutes before the curtain falls, the choir sings “The First Noel” and “Oh Holy Night” and a narrator reads a passage from the Bible.
A Concord High student and his father claim it violates the Constitution, which prohibits the government from “establishing” a religion. The two, represented by the Freedom From Religion Foundation and the American Civil Liberties Union, filed papers Wednesday in U.S. District Court to force the public school district to try to put a stop to the Nativity tradition.
Concord High’s Christmas Spectacular is planned by the school’s performing arts department each year and put on by students enrolled in performing arts electives, according to court documents. Throughout the production, students play various holiday favorites such as “Here Comes Santa Claus,” “Christmas Time is Here” and “Walking in a Winter Wonderland.”
The pageant does not take on a religious tone until the end, when students portray Mary and Joseph, the Three Wise Men and the shepherds and angels during the 20-minute Nativity scene, according to court filing.

They claim the Nativity scene as part of the Christmas production "is coercive, represents an endorsement of religion… has no secular purpose and has the principal purpose and eggiest of advancing religion," and are asking for the scene to be omitted from the performance at the school moving forward.
Jack Doe, how the unnamed high schooler is being referred to in the case, is an active member in Concord's music program, and will perform in the 2015 Christmas Spectacular, according to the suit. His participation includes performing "one or more of the religious hymns that are part of the live Nativity Scene and the telling of the story of the birth of Jesus," despite his objection to its telling.
Meanwhile, more than 6,400 people have joined a Facebook group titled "Save Concord's Christmas Spec's Nativity Scene," organizing and voicing their support of the high school's inclusion of the Nativity scene.

The lawsuit is not a complete surprise to Concord Community Schools, as the Freedom From Religion Foundation sent a letter regarding the issue to Superintendent John Trout in August. The letter asked the high school to drop the Nativity scene and keep the performance entirely secular. Sam Grover, an attorney with the foundation, said at the time that if the school continued with its Nativity scene, it would expose itself to the risk of legal action.
But at the Sept. 8 meeting of the Concord School Board, Trout made it clear the district would not be backing down and that the Nativity scene will remain part of the holiday performance. The community has largely stood behind Trout in defense of the Nativity scene. The performance in question has been an important part of the Concord holiday experience for more than 30 years, Trout said.
The complaint was filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, South Bend Division. Judge Jon DeGuilio has been assigned to the case.

Homosexualist Oregon Persecutes Christian Judge
A county judge who stopped officiating all weddings is being targeted for personal destruction by homosexual activists in Oregon media and even by the Commission on Judicial Fitness and Disability, as they investigate every aspect of his life, including his complaints to referees after his son was injured at a soccer game.
-- From "Oregon judge accused of blocking gay marriage applicants, hanging Hitler picture" by Shelby Sebens, Reuters 9/8/15
An Oregon judge who refused to perform same-sex marriages is facing multiple complaints in a state ethics investigation, including that he put up a picture of Adolf Hitler in the Salem courthouse, a state judicial commission said on Tuesday.
Patrick Korten, a spokeswoman for Day, said the complaints were baseless. He said the Hitler picture was part of a display to honor the service of veterans in World War Two and not to glorify the Nazi dictator.
Day has retained an attorney and will be allowed to present evidence at a Nov. 9 hearing, according to the judicial commission notice.
The commission could send the complaint to the Oregon Supreme Court if it finds the judge guilty of violating the judicial code of conduct and the state constitution.

Marion County Judge Vance Day said the Hitler portrait was not intended to glorify the Nazi dictator but was part of a display on democracy's defeat of fascism. Day, a former chairman of the Oregon Republican Party, said he's being targeted because of his Christian beliefs.
Day is the head of the Veterans Treatment Court, which aims to provide intensive monitoring of veterans to treat drug and alcohol problems as an alternative to jail. Several of the allegations against him stem from his interactions with veterans and displays he placed around his courtroom.
When a federal court ruling in May 2014 made same-sex marriage legal in Oregon, Day instructed his staff to refer same-sex couples looking to marry to other judges. Later, he decided to stop performing marriages altogether. Day said same-sex marriage violates his religious beliefs.
While the judicial fitness commission gets dozens of complaints each year, it's rare for one to result in a formal disciplinary proceeding. Since 2007, five judges have been referred to the Supreme Court for sanctions, said Susan Isaacs, the commission's executive director.

At another game less than one month later, Judge Day claimed he was physically assaulted while attempting to speak with officials at the referee’s table.

Day – who attends Morning Star Community Church in Salem – is welcome to [his religious freedom rights under the First Amendment] when he's off the bench. But that faith-based stamp-of-approval is precisely what many couples seek to avoid when they head to the courthouse, rather than the local chapel, to finalize this civil transaction.
Day has had a great deal of time to ponder his Constitutional oath, the requirements of his faith, and his responsibility to ensure that neither his words nor conduct in the courtroom "manifest bias or prejudice."

From "Gays target Oregon judge for purge because he won't participate in perverted weddings" by David Drudge, Catholic Online 9/8/15
Judges are important to the homosexual equivalency movement, which relies on secular support to legally affirm their civil-marriage status. Few churches are willing to participate in what is widely viewed as a perversion of marriage.
The developing issue is whether or not public officials can refuse to perform a legally prescribed duty on the basis of religious conviction. The answer appears to be no, a public official is required to perform all of their duties, regardless. This was the verdict in the case of Kim Davis, an elected county clerk who refused to participate in gay marriages by issuing licenses with her name on them.
In Ohio, the Supreme Court's Board of Professional Conduct also announced its ruling that judges in the state could not refuse to marry same-sex couples on any personal ground, including moral or religious.
This is sadism, akin to Nero. According to legend, Nero often had Christians killed at his parties for spectacle. They could be burned alive as human torches to illuminate his gardens. What the homosexual lobby appears to be doing is something similar. They are actively seeking public officials who disagree with their perversion and they are insisting that they, in particular, burn for their ceremonies. Granted, nobody dies, but the suffering felt by these people who have faithfully served the public all their lives, is very real.

NBC affiliate KGW reports that judges in Day's county are not required to oversee marriages. There are five active judges, and one retired judge, who are able to perform ceremonies on request.

From "Gays target Oregon judge for purge because he won't participate in perverted weddings" by David Drudge, Catholic Online 9/8/15
Judges are important to the homosexual equivalency movement, which relies on secular support to legally affirm their civil-marriage status. Few churches are willing to participate in what is widely viewed as a perversion of marriage.
The developing issue is whether or not public officials can refuse to perform a legally prescribed duty on the basis of religious conviction. The answer appears to be no, a public official is required to perform all of their duties, regardless. This was the verdict in the case of Kim Davis, an elected county clerk who refused to participate in gay marriages by issuing licenses with her name on them.
In Ohio, the Supreme Court's Board of Professional Conduct also announced its ruling that judges in the state could not refuse to marry same-sex couples on any personal ground, including moral or religious.
This is sadism, akin to Nero. According to legend, Nero often had Christians killed at his parties for spectacle. They could be burned alive as human torches to illuminate his gardens. What the homosexual lobby appears to be doing is something similar. They are actively seeking public officials who disagree with their perversion and they are insisting that they, in particular, burn for their ceremonies. Granted, nobody dies, but the suffering felt by these people who have faithfully served the public all their lives, is very real.

Secret Gov't-Paid Child Sex Change Surgery: Oregon
Parents are shocked to learn that the Oregon Health Authority has been authorized since January to use taxpayer Medicaid funds to pay surgeons to sexually mutilate their children without parental notification, but sexual revolutionary bureaucrats say the secrecy is essential because children may commit suicide if parents were to be involved.

-- From "Parents groups opposing new Oregon teen sex-change policy" posted at KPTV-TV12 (Portland, OR) 7/10/15
The list of things 15-year-olds can't do legally in Oregon is long. They can't drive, smoke, give blood, use a tanning bed or get a tattoo.
However, since earlier this year the new Oregon Health Evidence Review Commission policy allows them to get drugs to suppress puberty and even a sex change operation without parental consent, and the state will subsidize the cost.
The decision was made by HERC, which is in charge of deciding what Oregon's Medicaid plan will cover. With no public debate, it began covering cross-sex hormones, puberty-suppressing drugs and sex reassignment surgeries in January.
The Oregon Health Authority could not say how many children have been treated by the state for gender dysphoria since January. HERC estimates it will lead to one less suicide attempt a year and cost about $150,000.

From "Oregon allowing 15-year-olds to get state-subsidized sex-change operations" by Dan Springer, Fox News 7/9/15
. . . under a first-in-the-nation policy quietly enacted in January that many parents are only now finding out about, 15-year-olds are now allowed to get a sex-change operation. Many residents are stunned to learn they can do it without parental notification -- and the state will even pay for it through its Medicaid program, the Oregon Health Plan.
While 15 is the medical age of consent in the state, the decision to cover sex-change operations specifically was made by the Health Evidence Review Commission (HERC).
According to a 2008 study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, "most children with gender dysphoria will not remain gender dysphoric after puberty."
Dr. Paul McHugh, who led the Johns Hopkins Psychiatry Department and still practices, said Oregon's policy amounts to child abuse. "We have a very radical and even mutilating treatment being offered to children without any evidence that the long-term outcome of this would be good," McHugh said.

From "In Oregon, Medicaid Now Covers Transgender Medical Care" by Kristian Foden-Vencil, National Public Radio NPR 1/10/15
Oregon joins California, Massachusetts and Vermont as states where Medicaid covers medical treatments for gender dysphoria. Washington, D.C., offers coverage, too.
"To a large degree, I think the jury is still out on these procedures and whether or not they're legitimate," says Republican state Sen. Jeff Kruse, who sits on Oregon's Senate Health Care Committee. He says gender reassignment procedures are "elective" and "dubious at best."
Oregon's Health Evidence Review Commission decided to look into coverage for gender dysphoria last year. Until then, it had been lumped in with conditions like pedophilia and fetishism.

From "Delaying Puberty With the Help of the State" by Jake Thomas, The Atlantic 10/22/14
Adolescence, with its accompanying bodily changes, can be an awkward time for anyone—but puberty can be even more difficult for transgender teens as voices change, Adam's apples and breasts emerge, and the androgyny of childhood is lost. Often, the experience is accompanied by deep depression and thoughts of suicide.
The country's attitude toward the transgender community is shifting, with the once rarely-discussed topic moving further into mainstream conversation. The nascent acceptance of transgender people has important consequences for their medical care, and earlier this month, Oregon became the first state in the country to offer drugs that delay the onset of puberty for transgender adolescents enrolled in its Medicaid plan.
For 15 years, clinics in the U.S. and Europe that treat transgender children have prescribed these drugs to stop their bodies from maturing. The idea behind the treatment is twofold: First, it buys patients time to make an informed decision on how and if they want to physically transition to the gender with which they identify. And second, if they do decide to go through with the transition, puberty-suppressing drugs make the process smoother. By staving off breast development, for instance, an adolescent undergoing a female-to-male transition wouldn't have to undergo chest reconstruction surgery. But the medication offers mental benefits as well: Teens who are already living as the gender they identify with won't be “outed” by their bodies, and they won't have to go through puberty for the wrong gender, which research has shown can cause depression and suicidal thoughts. . . .
Despite being relatively new, the treatment is becoming a standard in care for transgender adolescents. . . .

From "Why Transgender Teens Want Medicaid to Help Pay to Block Puberty" by Christina Hoag, TakePart 10/31/14
“We know adolescents who were suicidal—terrified of going into puberty,” said Jenn Burleton, executive director of the TransActive Gender Center in Portland, which works with about 400 transgender youths and their families and was instrumental in pushing the state to cover puberty suppression drugs.
Puberty suppression meds, which cost $750 to $1,200 a month and are often not covered by private insurers in gender dysphoria cases, have been used for several decades to treat precocious puberty. They work by blocking the brain’s release of proteins that stimulate hormones producing secondary sex characteristics, such as breasts and menstruation or facial hair and Adam’s apple.
The effects are completely reversible, said Veronica Gómez-Lobo, a pediatric obstetrician/gynecologist with the Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. As soon as children stop taking the drug, they move into puberty.
Gender dysphoric teens typically start suppressive therapy at the onset of puberty and continue until they’re about 16, when it is generally considered reasonable to start hormone therapy, which may later be supplemented by gender reassignment surgery.
Some concerns exist that delaying puberty could affect the bone mass and brain development that occurs during adolescence . . .

Christian Fundraising Nixed by Homosexualists
Recently, Christians discovered a new means to fight the Gay Agenda, but once again homosexualists have exploited political correctness to battle back:
Now that activist judges have stripped voters of their right to uphold marriage, the populace has decided to vote with their pocketbooks by funding Christians who publicly stand for Christ. In response, the homosexualists have intimidated GoFundMe into shutting down such Christian donation campaigns.

-- From "GoFundMe fundraising site for Sweet Cakes owners goes dark" by George Rede, The Oregonian 4/25/15
A supporter of [Christian bakers] Aaron and Melissa Klein set up the [GoFundMe] campaign to help raise money for the couple after an administrative law judge for the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries [BOLI] issued a proposed order recommending they pay $135,000 in damages to a lesbian couple from Portland.
The BOLI judge said the Kleins illegally discriminated against Rachel and Laurel Bowman-Cryer when they refused the women's attempt to order a wedding cake, instead citing their Christian beliefs against same-sex marriage.
It wasn't clear Friday what specifically led to the apparent shelving of the GoFundMe fundraiser. But in response to a query by The Oregonian/OregonLive, the San Diego-based company provided this email reply:
After careful review by our team, we have found the "Support Sweet Cakes By Melissa" campaign to be in violation of our Terms and Conditions and have removed this campaign. The money raised thus far will still be made available for withdrawal.

Watson’s own post on Facebook stated, “this business has been found GUILTY OF DISCRIMINATION and is being allowed to fundraise to pay their penalty. The gofundme terms of service address hate speech, bigotry, criminal activity, and sexism among other things in their campaign…The amount of money they have raised in a matter of a few hours by thousands of anonymous cowards is disgusting.”

Aaron Klein said reporters came to his home and his shop, the couple's business car was vandalized and broken into twice, and photographers and florists severed ties with the company, eventually forcing Sweet Cakes to close its Gresham storefront shop in September 2013.

"It's very discouraging.

"This is a decision I made because of my faith, and now the government is now saying it doesn't matter, your kids can suffer for it as well."

Oregon Abortion Jihadists Attack Pro-lifers' Sign
Just as Islamic radicals believe it's the will of Allah that anyone who draws a cartoon of Mohammed must be put to death, radical abortion advocates believe that the U.S. Constitution does NOT provide freedom for Christians to use photographs to inform the public of the horrors of abortion.

A man standing in front of Columbia 150 held signs advocating to abolish abortion. His signs read:
“Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.” – a quote by Martin Luther King.
He also held a large sign with a graphic image of an undeveloped [aborted] fetus.
“We bring the graphic images out to show because people do this and nobody looks these babies in the eye,” Lori Mayberry, an advocate for abolishing abortion, told the Emerald.

From "Protestors damage graphic anti-abortion sign following heated debate on UO campus" posted at Oregon Daily Emerald Archives 3/12/15
Several students surrounded three anti-abortion activists at the intersection of 13th Avenue and University Street on Tuesday before attempting to destroy a graphic poster one of the men was holding in protest.
History major Allison Rutledge was the first to damage the anti-abortion activist’s poster. She stood on it and claimed that the activist didn’t have a right to display the graphic imagery . . . [and] is later seen leading a chant in order to get the anti-abortion activist to leave University of Oregon property.
She called the incident a tussle before saying that she felt emotionally threatened by the anti-abortion activist’s sign.
“This is our campus and we don’t want it — we don’t want you and your ugliness,” another unidentified woman said in the video.
The Oregon Supreme Court in 1984 ruled that any censorship of material considered obscene is unconstitutional.

One abortion supporter added, “This is our campus and we don’t want it — we don’t want you and your ugliness. This is so violent. This is obscene. This is not part of your First Amendment rights. This is unbelievable.”
The police officer that arrived at the scene, John Loos, originally said the signs need to be taken down but later realized they didn’t violate school policy or the constitution. Initially, he said, “You are breaking the rules of this institution. You are not breaking any laws in my opinion. This is a privately owned institution, even though it’s a public school. If it’s considered to be demeaning or anything like that, it’s not allowed.”
He added, “You’re breaking an ASUO rule — I don’t know the rule off the top of my head. I’m not picking sides here. What I’m trying to do is work a compromise so that these two groups could be doing this all day without having a fight.”

The confrontation between the students and the demonstrators begins about 14 minutes into the 19-minute video. After a student stood on and ripped an anti-abortion sign, a crowd of students surrounded the protestors, shouting at them and chanting “get off our campus.”
The police officer’s justification for telling the activist to put away his sign or leave is so strange – it violates student government rules? – that eventually his sergeant came over and rebuked him, and the university police promised its officers will be “reminded” to respect speech rights on campus.
The Young Americans for Liberty leaders who recorded the hubbub wrote a separate editorial berating the abortion-rights crowd as “childish” for harassing the lead protester and calling the cops on him. . . .

-- From "Graphic image leads to abortion controversy at 13th and University on Tuesday afternoon" by Gabrielle Deckelman, Oregon Daily Emerald 3/10/15
A man standing in front of Columbia 150 held signs advocating to abolish abortion. His signs read:
“Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.” – a quote by Martin Luther King.
He also held a large sign with a graphic image of an undeveloped [aborted] fetus.
“We bring the graphic images out to show because people do this and nobody looks these babies in the eye,” Lori Mayberry, an advocate for abolishing abortion, told the Emerald.

From "Protestors damage graphic anti-abortion sign following heated debate on UO campus" posted at Oregon Daily Emerald Archives 3/12/15
Several students surrounded three anti-abortion activists at the intersection of 13th Avenue and University Street on Tuesday before attempting to destroy a graphic poster one of the men was holding in protest.
History major Allison Rutledge was the first to damage the anti-abortion activist’s poster. She stood on it and claimed that the activist didn’t have a right to display the graphic imagery . . . [and] is later seen leading a chant in order to get the anti-abortion activist to leave University of Oregon property.
She called the incident a tussle before saying that she felt emotionally threatened by the anti-abortion activist’s sign.
“This is our campus and we don’t want it — we don’t want you and your ugliness,” another unidentified woman said in the video.
The Oregon Supreme Court in 1984 ruled that any censorship of material considered obscene is unconstitutional.

One abortion supporter added, “This is our campus and we don’t want it — we don’t want you and your ugliness. This is so violent. This is obscene. This is not part of your First Amendment rights. This is unbelievable.”
The police officer that arrived at the scene, John Loos, originally said the signs need to be taken down but later realized they didn’t violate school policy or the constitution. Initially, he said, “You are breaking the rules of this institution. You are not breaking any laws in my opinion. This is a privately owned institution, even though it’s a public school. If it’s considered to be demeaning or anything like that, it’s not allowed.”
He added, “You’re breaking an ASUO rule — I don’t know the rule off the top of my head. I’m not picking sides here. What I’m trying to do is work a compromise so that these two groups could be doing this all day without having a fight.”

From "Anti-abortion activists attacked and threatened by mob at U. of Oregon" by Greg Piper, Assistant Editor, The College Fix 3/13/15
The confrontation between the students and the demonstrators begins about 14 minutes into the 19-minute video. After a student stood on and ripped an anti-abortion sign, a crowd of students surrounded the protestors, shouting at them and chanting “get off our campus.”
The police officer’s justification for telling the activist to put away his sign or leave is so strange – it violates student government rules? – that eventually his sergeant came over and rebuked him, and the university police promised its officers will be “reminded” to respect speech rights on campus.
The Young Americans for Liberty leaders who recorded the hubbub wrote a separate editorial berating the abortion-rights crowd as “childish” for harassing the lead protester and calling the cops on him. . . .

Oregon Bankrupts Bible-clinging Baker: Gay Agenda
Demonstrating the power of a totalitarian government executing the Gay Agenda, Oregon administrative law judge Alan McCullough has ruled that Aaron and Melissa Klein, owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa, in Gresham, violated state law by resisting forced participation in a same-sex wedding ceremony. The six-figure fine assessed by the state against the Kleins, to be paid to the lesbian couple, will lead to personal bankruptcy of the Christians, who have already been forced to close their bakery shop.

-- From "Oregon bakery owes damages to same-sex couple" by The Associated Press 2/2/15
A hearing is scheduled in March to determine how much in damages two Oregon bakers owe a lesbian couple [Rachel Cryer and Laurel Bowman] for refusing to bake them a wedding cake in 2013.
An administrative law judge has rejected the bakers' contention that the state's discrimination laws violate their religious freedom, the Oregon labor department said Monday.
His decision could be appealed to the [Oregon Court of Appeals].
Anna Harmon of Canby, one of three attorneys representing the Kleins, said the judge was wrong to decide that neither the state nor the federal constitution protects their right "not to design and create a work of art celebrating an event which violates the tenets of their religion."

From "Sweet Cakes by Melissa discriminated against lesbian couple, Oregon hearings officer rules" by George Rede, The Oregonian 2/2/15
An administrative law judge has rejected an attempt by lawyers representing the owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa to dismiss the case and award them $200,000 for damages, court costs and attorney fees.
Both sides had sought summary judgment in the dispute. But in his Jan. 29 interim order, Alan McCullough found that the undisputed facts in the case supported charges of unlawful discrimination under the Oregon Equality Act.
Oregon law bans discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people in jobs and in places that serve the public, such as restaurants and bakeries.
Lawyers for the Kleins tried unsuccessfully last summer to remove [Oregon Labor Commissioner Brad] Avakian from the proceedings on the grounds that he is biased in favor of gay rights.

From "Ore. bakery will have to pay same-sex couple up to $150K" by Sara Roth, KGW-TV8 (Porland, OR) 2/2/15
The owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa bakery will have to pay the couple up to $150,000, BOLI [Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries] spokesman Charlie Burr said. The exact amount will be determined at a hearing on March 10.
Bowman filed an anti-discrimination complaint with BOLI later that year, alleging that the bakery violated the Oregon Equality Act of 2007, which protects the rights of Oregonians who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender.
Sweet Cakes closed its doors in Dec. 2013, in the midst of the public backlash from the investigation. The owner of the bakery said she would keep baking cakes at a home-based bakery.

“They’re trying to push us into the closet for being Christians,” he said.
The Kleins’ troubles started in January 2013 when they turned away that lesbian couple. The bakers were relentlessly pummeled in the media. LGBT activists launched protests and boycotts. They tell me their small children even received death threats — simply because they chose to follow the teachings of their faith.
At some point the activists threatened to launch boycotts against any wedding vendor that did business with the Kleins. That turned out to be the death blow to their retail shop. Today, Melissa bakes cakes out of the family’s home.

UPDATE 4/24/15: From "Judge: Gresham bakers must pay $135,000 for 'emotional suffering' in gay wedding cake case" by Pamplin Media Group posted at Portland Tribune
Administrative Law Judge Allan McCullough included the recommended award in his April 21 111-page proposed order. The recommendation is not a fine or a penalty against Sweetcakes by Melissa’s operators Melissa and Aaron Klein, but an award for emotional distress that the couple felt because of the discrimination.
McCullough’s proposed order awards $60,000 in damages to Laurel Bowman-Cryer and $75,000 in damages to Rachel Bowman-Cryer. According to the proposed order, McCullough said the Kleins violated the Oregon Equality Act of 2007, which protects the rights of gays, lesbians, bisexual and transgender people in employment, housing and public places.
According to BOLI officials, the agency has only found evidence of violations in six investigations of Equality Act accommodations complaints in the seven years.
Oregon’s Bureau of Labor and Industries will use McCullough’s proposed award as part of its final order. Both the Kleins and BOLI administrative prosecutors will review the proposed order and may file exceptions. Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian will issue the agency’s final ord er in the case. Once a final order has been set, the respondents can appeal the ruling to the Oregon Court of Appeals.

Oregon Trains Pre-teens in Masturbation, Anal Sex
Sheriff Tom Bergin has asked the Clatsop County District Attorney to assist in shutting down the annual Adolescent Sexuality Conference, which is funded by the Oregon Department of Education (DOE) and the Oregon Health Authority, due to criminal activity — not to mention training young children in virtual sex via Internet:

Students [as young as 11] attending the conference were shown porn sites, taught how to access cybersex and even were encouraged to Skype each other while masturbating. That is one way this conference material could be setting kids up for illegal activity, Sheriff Bergin said.
The Oregon DOE employs Brad Victor, who runs the conference and is paid to help school districts align sex education to state standards.
The city of Seaside just started reviewing the conference’s contract and is looking into the liability risks of hosting the conference.

Part of the lesson plan at a workshop at the Oregon Adolescent Sexuality Conference is an adult website called Virtual Fem. In addition to the content from that website, numerous handouts, such as one that encourages cyber and phone sex, have been passed out to high school and middle school students in attendance.
The pamphlets go on to suggest other ways students can engage in intimate activities without going all the way, including bathing together, shaving each other, wearing each other’s underwear, role playing, buying an extra-large pair of pajama bottoms to sleep in together, lap dances and strip teases.
“All kinds of speakers about Internet porn, using Internet sex toys, using meth as is shown in this book for when you’re engaging in sex. It encourages using meth because it helps your sexual drive and what not in here,” said [educator Lisa] Maloney. “It says in this booklet that was handed out and given out to all young people.”
In the WISE curriculum [the grant behind the conference], sixth grade students are asked, “How do people express their sexual feelings?” The answers they’re given to choose from include anal sex, oral sex and sexual fantasy.
When confronted about the graphic content, the conference’s director, Brad Victor, declined to comment about one session in particular about performing sex acts over Skype and whether those sessions could potentially be recorded and used against a student later.

Detectives from the sex crimes unit of the Portland Police Bureau brought Bean, 66, to the Multnomah County Detention Center on Wednesday.
He is expected to be arraigned later in Lane County Circuit Court in connection with a 2013 incident involving a 15-year-old boy. Charges are expected to include two counts of third-degree sodomy, which is a felony, and one count of third-degree sex abuse, a misdemeanor.
He also has raised money for President Barack Obama and other Democrats, including Bill Clinton and Al Gore. He is an at-large member of the Democratic National Committee.

From "Lane County grand jury indicts prominent gay rights activist Terrence Bean in 2013 case involving a 15-year-old boy" by Maxine Bernstein, The Oregonian 11/19/14
Bean, 66, a prominent gay rights activist and major Democratic Party fundraiser, was arrested at his home in Southwest Portland and booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center at 10:12 a.m.
Bean has been one of the state's biggest Democratic donors and an influential figure in gay rights circles in the state. He helped found two major national political groups, the Human Rights Campaign and the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, and has been a major contributor for several Democratic presidential candidates, including Barack Obama. He's also a close friend of former Gov. Barbara Roberts.
Bean's Flickr account shows him talking with Obama at several events, posing with first lady Michelle Obama and numerous other political figures, including former President Bill Clinton. A blog post from his sister, Sue Surdam Bean, detailed her brother's work on a July 24, 2012 Obama fundraiser in Portland. She included three photos of Terry Bean's ride on Air Force One with Obama to a subsequent event in Seattle.

From "Terry Bean Arrested on Charges of Sex Abuse of a Minor" by Nigel Jaquiss, Willamette Week Newspaper (Portland, OR) 11/19/14
The arrest comes after a six-month investigation that began with allegations Bean secretly made video recordings of men having sex in his bedroom. As WW reported in June, Bean accused a former lover, Kiah Lawson [age 25], of attempting to extort him over the discovery of a hidden camera. In the spring, Bean sought to keep the allegations secret and tried to reach a $40,000 settlement with Lawson.
After WW began asking questions, Bean went to the police asking them to investigate his allegations. Bean also handed over to police what he said was evidence of additional illegal activity by Lawson and others.
Lawson told WW that early this year he had discovered a hidden camera in a smoke detector above Bean's bed. Lawson claimed he was in more than one video that was made without his knowledge, and that video recording also captured at least a half dozen men “in a state of nudity engaged in intimate acts with [Bean].”
Bean made millions as a real estate developer and used his wealth to promote political causes, primarily gay rights.

Kiah Loy Lawson, 25, surrendered to Portland police early Thursday.
Like Bean, Lawson faces charges in Lane County Circuit Court in connection with an incident involving a 15-year-old boy. Pending are two counts of third-degree sodomy, a felony, and one court of third-degree sex abuse, a misdemeanor.
A Thursday release by the bureau offered no other details except that the investigation was continuing.

Bean, 66, a prominent gay rights activist and major Democratic Party fundraiser, was arrested at his home in Southwest Portland and booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center at 10:12 a.m.
Bean has been one of the state's biggest Democratic donors and an influential figure in gay rights circles in the state. He helped found two major national political groups, the Human Rights Campaign and the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, and has been a major contributor for several Democratic presidential candidates, including Barack Obama. He's also a close friend of former Gov. Barbara Roberts.
Bean's Flickr account shows him talking with Obama at several events, posing with first lady Michelle Obama and numerous other political figures, including former President Bill Clinton. A blog post from his sister, Sue Surdam Bean, detailed her brother's work on a July 24, 2012 Obama fundraiser in Portland. She included three photos of Terry Bean's ride on Air Force One with Obama to a subsequent event in Seattle.

From "Terry Bean Arrested on Charges of Sex Abuse of a Minor" by Nigel Jaquiss, Willamette Week Newspaper (Portland, OR) 11/19/14
The arrest comes after a six-month investigation that began with allegations Bean secretly made video recordings of men having sex in his bedroom. As WW reported in June, Bean accused a former lover, Kiah Lawson [age 25], of attempting to extort him over the discovery of a hidden camera. In the spring, Bean sought to keep the allegations secret and tried to reach a $40,000 settlement with Lawson.
After WW began asking questions, Bean went to the police asking them to investigate his allegations. Bean also handed over to police what he said was evidence of additional illegal activity by Lawson and others.
Lawson told WW that early this year he had discovered a hidden camera in a smoke detector above Bean's bed. Lawson claimed he was in more than one video that was made without his knowledge, and that video recording also captured at least a half dozen men “in a state of nudity engaged in intimate acts with [Bean].”
Bean made millions as a real estate developer and used his wealth to promote political causes, primarily gay rights.
