'Gay cake' row: Judge rules against Ashers bakery

Taking away more Liberty from Protestants in Ulster. The Loyalists see what the Liberals and Republicans are doing trying to destroy us and take away our ability to pass on our legacy to our children. This is a Puritan law and Puritans are enforcing it.

You are so vindictive and vengeful that you would deny a murder who is out on licence the food to sustain him? I thought you were a Christian.

What has this case got to do with Protestants at all???

I am a Protestant.

Everything!

The baker had no problem selling cakes to anyone, his objection was to the special message that the customer requested be put on top of the cake.

This case is really not as clear cut as you seem to be implying since there are clearly two human rights in conflict here: freedom from discrimination vs freedom of thought, conscience and religion.

As the barrister for the bakery pointed out, this potentially sets a pretty awkward precedent. I haven't read the judgement but, on the face of it, this appears to mean that, for example, a Muslim printer would be unable to refuse to print Charlie Hebdo cartoons showing Muhammad, or a pacifist t-shirt seller would be unable to refuse to print an aggressively pro-Iraq War slogan on t-shirts.

Neither of the hypothetical people in those examples could ever have imagined that, when they entered into that line of work, they might be asked to do something that clashed so directly with their fundamental beliefs. Nevertheless, if they are asked to do so they must surely have a right to refuse, not because of any bigotry towards the customer, but because they are being asked to compromise their core beliefs by both writing, and then helping to spread, a message they do not agree with.

It's really not too much to ask for some reasonable accommodation here, but instead the judgement seems to send the message out that everyone has human rights but not all human rights are equal... although, that being said, it's perhaps a little too early to come to that conclusion without considering the judge's reasoning first.

Surely the point is that the baker is a hypothetical person. In fact the refusal was made by a company and, not being human, has no human rights. The customer, on the other hand, was human.

They fought the law and the law won. Basically, if you want you want to be in business, you need to leave your religious beliefs at home.

Nope nothing at all, you do realise that this case is about a Christian bakery not a Protestant? & Christianity includes so many branches of religion so stop trying to make this about Protestants and saying that it is taking away Liberty from Protestants in Ulster is the most ridiculous thing I have heard so far.

That is likely because you know nothing about Protestantism or Loyalism.

Doubt that you know anything about my knowledge of things
