We Are Not Gay Bakers

[Bazile]

Another one of these rulings

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."//

Pathetic

Total waste of the courts time, all for the sake of someone with the usual huge chip on their shoulder proving a point

Bert and Ernie gay????

Next thing they'll be depicting Big Bird as a butch lesbian

[Svejk]

Sp. I wouldn't have let her on the bus. Someone did and look at all the trouble she caused.
I dare say she's 'a bit of a heroine' to you. She means jack to me.

They are probably Catholic so if someone came in wanting someone Protestant propaganda on a cake and they refused would this be discriminatory? I do rather think they should of seen this coming and taken steps to deal with it. Such as finding someone independant to the shop that would be prepared to decorate cakes.

// The labourer is not only worthy of his hire, he should hold the right to choose for whom he labours //

Interesting, Khandro.

Is this the ultimate right wing, ultra capitalist judgment?

You WILL work for me!

I have money. I have the force of the Law on my side.

You are but a minion.

If I order you to labour for me, you will labour. If you refuse to labour, I will bring the force of the Law down upon you, and you suffer the consequences.

The customers wield the sword of an Ayn Rand, 1984 style, capitalist super power.

The labourer is forced to labour for a cause with which he disagrees, or he will be punished.

I imagining the customer with his arms folded, holding a whip ...

YOU ... WILL ... MAKE ...MY ...CAKE !!!!!

(yes master)

[Psybbo]

Not catholic, probably fundamental christians

[Psybbo]

Oh good grief, this ridiculous, jj I thought you would be better than that. I'll speak to Olive!

[pastafreak]

God...I'd hate to be a gay reading some of the nastieness that's been written here...the silly innuendos,the trivialising of lifestyle,genes,birth...and a move to see outdated laws changed. This is so obviously *not* about the cake...that was just a vehicle to draw attention to the bigoted and out of touch attitudes that are still so prevalent. It's certainly done that.
Mikey...regarding your post about the Constitution...if I am not mistaken,the founding fathers never had people of colour in mind when they said all men are created equal.

[Peter Pedant]

// Mikey, the Law in NI says Gay Marriage is illegal there!//

yeah but not like shooting someone is illegal there -or robbing a bank is illegal.

and the other difference is that Gay marriage - it is unlikely that you would find anyone to do it - but in Ireland - shooting people and robbing banks is commonplace

but I dont want to stereotype de oirish

[Peter Pedant]

yeah and de two men on the wedding cake

were they carthlic gays or proddy gays ?

[Psybbo]

Please don't trivialise it, anyone who takes on the 'establishment' here is to be applauded. NI resident who regularly despairs

[mushroom25]

//yeah and de two men on the wedding cake

no, they are bert and ernie, 2 characters from a us tv programme for pre-school children, whose alleged sexuality has been hijacked by the gay lobby.

[Svejk]

In case you haven't noticed, it's the 'establishment' that is bringing all its weight to bear on the bakers.

[Psybbo]

No Svejk, our first minister agrees with the bakers.

[mushroom25]

psybbo, your first minister also believes that the giant's causeway is 6000 years old.

[joggerjayne]

// this ridiculous, jj I thought you would be better than that //

Gaah, dammit! I hate it when that happens.

[Psybbo]

Now you know why I despair, mushroom

[Psybbo]

jj, I still love you xx

[joggerjayne]

So you won't say anything to Olive!

:o)

[Psybbo]

No. jj. your secret's safe!
