Klein’s Case Moves Forward
Penalized for their faith, Aaron and Melissa Klein are claiming violations of their constitutional rights to free speech, religious freedom, and due process.

Aaron and Melissa Klein are taking their fight for freedom before the Oregon Court of Appeals.

The Oregon government punished the Kleins with a $135,000 penalty for declining to design and create a custom cake for a same-sex wedding. The government also issued a gag order directing the Kleins to never again speak about certain aspects of their religious faith.

On April 26, First Liberty Institute and volunteer attorney former White House Counsel Boyden Gray filed an appellate brief with the Oregon Court of Appeals. Their brief contends that the state violated the Kleins’ constitutional rights to free speech, religious freedom, and due process.

“Our rights to free expression and religious liberty are some of our most cherished American freedoms,” Gray stated. “We must safeguard these rights for every American–including Aaron and Melissa Klein.”
