Penistone999 Â Â 10 #1 Posted October 10, 2018 An Irish bakery has been found NOT to have discriminated against a gay couple by refusing to make a cake with a same sex slogan on it . Â For me common sense has prevailed ,as any business should be able to refuse to accept an order it dosnt want to take.

woodview   10 #2 Posted October 10, 2018 Well, I'm glad. I support everyones freedom, to live their lives as they wish, so long as they don't bring harm to anyone else. Had they refused to serve the guy in question, as a regular purchasing customer, because of his sexual orientation, I would be fully behind him suing them. But I don't think you can force someone to do something, in this case a sloganned cake. If the gay guy owned a shop, he should also be allowed to refuse to print a 'no same sex marriage' sloganned item too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Lockdoctor   10 #3 Posted October 10, 2018 Happy for the cake shop owners. What happened to them was a disgrace. Hopefully the cake shop owners will still have enough money left after their ordeal to live a good life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Hopefully the cake shop owners will still have enough money left after their ordeal to live a good life.  Well the legal bill for each side is running at around £200k. That's alot of cake.  I wonder if the gay couple got permission to use that seaseme street image? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Not idea about seaseme street, but I do know, if a shop didn't want my business for whatever reasons, I would choose another shop to spend my money and wouldn't cause a fuss.
