Aaron and Melissa Klein are a Christian couple who started their own business: a family bakery called Sweet Cakes by Melissa. After six years, Sweet Cakes was shut down in 2013 after the Kleins were fined $135,000 for declining to make a cake for a same-sex wedding.
But their First Amendment battle isn’t over yet – the nonprofit First Liberty Institute is appealing to the Oregon Supreme Court to reverse the decision and uphold the Kleins’ right to free speech, religious freedom and due process.
