This is a bit odd though

//His party colleague David McIlveen tweeted: "Utterly sickened that a Christian owned business has been hauled over the coals for refusing to promote something that is not legal in NI."//

On a much lighter note: Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man.
Bake me a cake as fast as you can;
Pat it and shape it and mark it with "P",
And bake it in the oven for my partner and me.

LOL Stuey !

Cavehill -they did not refuse to bake the cake because the customer was Gay -don't be so ridiculous. They refused to decorate it with a logo that was contrary to the Law in their country and contrary to their Beliefs. The fact they took a week to decide what to do suggests it was not a instant decision but the result of careful thought.

[Retrochic]

Well I'm not going to mention buns in the oven for fearing to insult any 'expectant' ladies in the AB community!

[mikey4444]

Retro....behave yourself !

[Svejk]

It's pathetic, imo. Millions of children starving in the world and this precious poppet is gringing about his cakey-wakey.

[Retrochic]

mikey -as if...I'm off for a black coffee, a fairy cake and two chocolate fingers. ;-P

[stuey]

There's nowt queer as folk.

Old_Geezer .

Neither is it illegal to refuse to decorate a cake with the words
'QUEER Space' - is it ?

So in retrospect , the bakery should have simply said we cant accept your proposed commision and left it at that

I am quite partial to a cream puff myself.

Apparently Ireland conducts a referendum on Gay marriages this Friday.

The polls say it will be a yes vote, but if it is it will be rte first time the polls have got it right.

I suppose Rosa Parks should've just waited for the next bus too?

[Khandro]

This is an outrageous judgement! The labourer is not only worthy of his hire, he should hold the right to choose for whom he labours.

[mikey4444]

SP....LOL at 16:07 ! I always thought it was all Rosa's fault !

[Psybbo]

There'll be uproar in Stormont tomorrow!

there is no suggestion that bert and ernie are gay, indeed "Sesame Workshop", successors to the Children's Television Workshop and current makers of Sesame Street, avow that bert and ernie are good friends.

i wonder if the Sesame Workshop have a case to bring for misrepresentation in the matter of a commercial hijacking of their legally owned characters?

If I was asked to do something that I didn't want to do because I found It offensive, I would not do it.

[Psybbo]

If I was in business, I'd do what the customer asked
