This whole process was never going to be a cakewalk, which in itself raised issues which would end in a verbal bun fight. Still, hopefully not many tiers were shed by those who made a stand and everybody will get their slice.......

That’s along the same lines as saying to Rosa Parks, “What’s your beef. Another bus will be along in five minutes.”
The wider implications of this case is that discrimination can be dressed up as ‘faith concerns’.
However, in this case, I don’t think the bakery was showing discrimination. You cannot discriminate against an idea, only people. If a heterosexual walked in with request to make the same cake, I’d imagine he/she too would be refused service.

To those who say that no business should be forced to perform a service - they HAVE to. If you operate a public service, you are allowed to refuse service, but you are not allowed to break provisions as laid out in the 2010 Equality Act.

Sort of...they're deliberately misinterpreting.
The Equalities Act 2010 has been upheld in this instance because it cannot be proven that the bakery displayed any prejudice to the customers.
In my poster Chilldoubt I said that this was the correct decision, but some people d̶e̶l̶i̶b̶e̶r̶a̶t̶e̶l̶y̶ may have missed this.
The B&B was wholly different. The owner (rightly in my opinion)( lost their appeal in the High Court.
Common sense once again prevailing.

/// He was recommended that bakery by several people in the office - they did not tell him till a week later that they could not do the cake which left little time to get another bakery to complete the order ///
Your link in the OP says
\\\ His order was initially accepted at a branch of Ashers in Belfast city centre, but two days later the baking firm's head office contacted Mr Lee to say the firm would not make the cake \\\
