Ted,
Its not a gag order.........its damages for the emotional suffering of the complainants because of discrimination. It doesn't help the case of the perps that they insist on continuing this discrimination going forward. Damages for emotional suffering always seems pretty arbitrary but at least the amt in this case is much less than other legal cases.
Emotional suffering does not amount to $135K.

You said it yourself, the amount is also meant to be punitive:
Its meant to let people know that if you choose to be in a public business, you can't discriminate.
When expressing your religious beliefs is considered "discrimination," then you're effectively restraining freedom of expression.

That's a gag order anyway you slice it.
