He got his cake elsewhere,sympathy for the Ashers, if they did not want to put the slogan on their cake,that was their right imo.

Going to be interesting to see if any of the 12th lads request a cake to be made for the occasion now.

I think I might order a cake with a cartoon on it,one of those Danish ones.

Wonder which of us would be in danger from the religion of peace.

The bakery owners obviously have no rights.
Report wildmanfromborneo May 19, 2015 12:08 PM BST
Gay rights trump most rights here at the moment.

Although the Liberals would be in some tizzy if the slogan on the cake was a cartoon offensive to Muslims.

I find it bizarre they found in favour of the customers here, can myself and others not sue bookmakers for refusing to serve us??

Also like the pikeys who all got 3k each in England over being refused from Wetherspoons, there are lads getting refused from pubs / clubs (by meatheads who are not intelligent enough to get any other job bar doorman) every weekend in every city / town of the country and none of them would get compensation over it, guess it does back up what Timberman has been saying for years.

It does seem if you belong to a minority group and cry foul they side with you (Wildman will love me saying that).

Great idea Premier,find a  Gay with some savvy get him to avail of some rick Ladbrokes have made on some greyhound.

If they refuse the bet sue as its homophobic.
If they accept go down to The George and recruit some more sweet smelling foot soldiers.

What if someone walks into a Jewish bakery (or any bakery for that matter) and orders a cake with a swastika iced on top ?

How about me and you going to the George Premier ,if they refuse  us entry it could be our meal ticket for life . Laugh
Report wildmanfromborneo May 19, 2015 12:29 PM BST
Not a good example Vubiant as its become fashionable to hate Jews.

The Danish cartoon is the one that will have them conflicted.

Israelis have replaced Africaaners as people the Liberals not alone allow you hate but demand you do.

The lady who owns the bakery with her husband is a very good-looking girl. Yer man must have been in no doubt as to his preference for packing fudge!

Middle-class, 26 and 2 kids, it is almost from another age.

The judge declared that the bakery had discriminated against the customer on the basis of his sexuality.
But that seems faulty to me.
The baker did not necessarily know  the sexual orientation of the customer -it could have been anyone ordering that cake ...a straight Christian who supported gay rights...an atheist doing it for a spoof etc.
Incidentally -in this case the argument from sincere conscientious belief has been overridden. Yet here in the Republic e.g.medical professionals have the right to absent themselves from processes that might result in an abortion -on conscientious grounds (where these clearly derive from religious conviction.)
I hope the bakery mounts an appeal and are financially supported to do so.

A quick skim of the case suggests many have missed the nuances.

A contract was entered into,.   Offer and Acceptance.  When the bakery heard what was to be written on the cake they decided to break the contract and gave a very honest reason for doing so.  The reason was subjective and quite clearly discriminatory.  A contract cannot be broken for such reasons, otherwise contract law itself would be undermined.

Had they obtusely said they had over-booked and had to cancel..or that they had run out of ingredients or an oven had broken .....whatever....they wouldn't have been accused of discriminatory behaviour...and given that the contract merely related to baking a cake.....its hard to see anyone accusing anyone of breach of contract

We live in a much maligned age of political correctness.  Like it or not, we have to play by the rules, and it can be simpler to obfuscate rather than be direct and truthful.  After all, we are not going to turn around and say..Sorry we don't bake cakes for, N1ggers or Quaaaars....even if its the truth.....that sort of directness has been eradicated from polite society, now a further layer of obfuscation is required.  Play by these rules, and you won't have to bake cakes for anyone you don't want to.

Ozymandius as usual missing the point.

The reason the cake was refused was nothing to do with the individual that ordered the cake,it was to do with the political slogan.

Also Callitasucit made no point here at all never mind calling " yer wan cute "  but good to see his insecurities to the fore.

Rocketfingers is just a cruder more insecure version of Ozymandius.
