Post Ashers 'gay cake' row: Bakers win Supreme Court appeal
Quote:
The Christian owners of a Northern Ireland bakery have won their appeal in the so-called "gay cake" discrimination case.

The UK's highest court ruled that Ashers bakery's refusal to make a cake with a slogan supporting same-sex marriage was not discriminatory.

Can't say I agree with that decision. They didn't ask for anything obscene wording or imagery on the cake, just words.

I think the judgment was about right - they did not refuse to serve because the person was gay - they just refused to do the wording.
