If you are in business you are a drone with no opinion, a slave to enterprise.

Would there have been a case if the baker was muslim?
Doubt it. |

The irony is that even Peter Tatchell doesn't agree with the ruling.

You can't be discriminatory about discrimination or where do you draw the line?
No Irish? No Catholics? No Jews? No Brexiteers? The court decision is right. |
|
By:
The court can say what they wan't but it any Gays got o get a cake from they bakers i don't think many guests would be tucking into it.
They may bake it but with what ingredients ? |

Interestingly, Peter Tatchell changed his mind on this case and now thinks the ruling was wrong. See this from February.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/feb/01/gay-cake-row-i-changed-my-mind-ashers-bakery-freedom-of-conscience-religion Like most gay and equality campaigners, I initially condemned the Christian-run Ashers Bakery in Belfast over its refusal to produce a cake with a pro-gay marriage slogan for a gay customer, Gareth Lee. I supported his legal claim against Ashers and the subsequent verdict – the bakery was found guilty of discrimination last year. Now, two days before the case goes to appeal, I have changed my mind. Much as I wish to defend the gay community, I also want to defend freedom of conscience, expression and religion. |
|
By:
Foinavon, they didn't refuse to bake the cake because the customer was gay but because they didn't want to endorse a political message.
|
|
By:
The concept of discrimination hides the fact that the state used to have a very different view on this subject.
It therefore suggests the law was completely wrong but had to be upheld. Now it says you have to dismiss personal opinion even though the law got it wrong before. You are a robot |

What of choice?
Was the gay not free to chose where he had the cake made? Same doesnt apply of the maker it seems? |
|
By:
OK Wesdag, that puts a different light on it if they were prepared to sell the cake undecorated. I didn't realise that. I can understand a baker refusing to decorate a cake with a swastika out of personal preference so I accept that a baker may not want to decorate a cake with a same sex message.

How can anyone force anyone to make a cake with a symbol of anyone on it
If i went in to a bakers which was owned by gays and i wanted a pair of big t1ts on a cake saying RED BLOODED MALE PARTY i'm sure they would refuse. |
|
By:
So if you went into a gay bakers and asked for a cake with "The bible says no to same sex marriage" would they have to bake the cake ?
|
|
By:
One rule for some one rule for others and we wonder why there is so many pathetic marches happening.
|
|
By:
From my understanding its simply saying (the maker) has no opinion and as long as the symbol or message is lawful then they have to carry it out.
|
|
By:
The maker is now programmed to make cakes he doesn't agree with if he continues his job as a baker

rogerthebutler but are you the owner? If you own the garage i'm sure you could tell anyone to do one
I have heard kevin Webster and Tyrone Dobbs telling people to go elsewhere and i don't even need to get started on Phil Mitchell and Cain Dingle. |

When will the luvvies be marching for the Human Rights of the Bakers to Freely Express their Beliefs?
Or are they the 'Wrong Type of Opinions' to qualify? I can't wait to see what happens when a white homosexual man goes into a Peace-Loving bakery and asks for a cake decorated with a cartoon picture of a well-known prophet. Looking forward to seeing the majesty of the machinery of law and the courts springing into action to support that customer's interests. |

“The fact that a baker provides a cake for a particular team or portrays witches on a Halloween cake does not indicate any support for either,” the lord chief justice said.
The lord chief justice's surprisingly asinine examples would suggest that he didn't have time to read Peter Tatchell's article, which seems a great shame. "The judge concluded that service providers are required to facilitate any “lawful” message, even if they have a conscientious objection. This raises the question: should Muslim printers be obliged to publish cartoons of Mohammed? Or Jewish ones publish the words of a Holocaust denier? Or gay bakers accept orders for cakes with homophobic slurs? If the Ashers verdict stands it could, for example, encourage far-right extremists to demand that bakeries and other service providers facilitate the promotion of anti-migrant and anti-Muslim opinions. It would leave businesses unable to refuse to decorate cakes or print posters with bigoted messages." |

The Baker can still say fck off if he wants though who can make him bake the thing?
Just say i don't know this design or anything like that The story has a hidden agenda and i will find out  |

Some Muslims won't sell alcohol should they be forced to sell it in stores and bacon?
Also some sell it but don't touch it and think it's evil |

By:
a church doesnt need to marry a gay couple but a baker must produce
material to promote gay marriage if requested or be in breach of law ! can i order a cake with a figure of god on it from a muslim bakery , and cry foul when they object on religious grounds ? the law is wrong here and will be over turned at a higher level as it is perverse there are plenty of bakers who will produce the cake, so find one of those. |

Actually, I'm going to accept their money - then p1ss in their petrol tanks. Can't bloody touch you for it then

#gaycake My business does not promote any political messages at all and nor would we accept any work which did so. I side with the Baker. |
