coprolite Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Stupid case for the equalities commission to take. There will be a spate of thick fuckers who think this decision gives them the green light to refuse to serve folk for discriminatory reasons. The equalities folk won't then fund all of these. Sentient folk will grasp the actual substance of the decision. It is the idiots we have to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I don’t see why any business should feel obliged to give anyone their custom if they don’t want to for what ever reason they see fit. It’s ridiculous how far this entire thing has gone and how much money has been wasted but at least the right conclusion has finally been drawn.

killiefan27 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 As stated above, the bakery shouldn't be forced to bake a cake which bears a slogan they disagree with. It would have been different if they'd refused to make any cake for a gay person, that would have been discrimination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Are the bakery owners homophobic areholes, yes. Does Gareth Lee come across as an attention seeking arsehole, yes. Was this publicity stunt a complete waste of public funds, yes.Was the court decision correct, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they could pretty much do whatever they want and everyone would be too shit scared to say anything. The Christians do have a hard line element, it's known as the USA.

parsforlife Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Rejecting a cake supporting equal rights for gay people is quite clearly discrimination.That said when your government is as bigoted as you I'm not sure you can be breaking the law, however fucked that law is.

Would you make and sell a cake saying that marriage should only be between a man and woman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a vote on gay marriage in Ireland in 2015 where 35% of the population voted against so why should he just assume that everyone should be happy to put a message of support of gay marriage on to a cake? I bet he was delighted when they refused to make the cake as well as it gave him a platform to seek attention for himself on such a large scale.Don’t see why there’s an issue at all, take your business elsewhere and give your hard earned to a company who are happy to put that particular message on the cake and enjoy the wedding.

Granny Danger Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Technically the legal decision was correct. I disagree that the whole thing was a waste of time. It is necessary to continue to expose the homophobia amongst the religious fuckwits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Legally" the decision was correct. If the Supreme Court had found for the plaintiff, and someone had come on posting "Technically the legal decision was correct", you would have been on here lambasting their post. I was trying to keep the discussion light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it was a waste of money, but that's not really the point, the plaintiff felt he had been discriminated against (on the grounds of his sexuality) and, as is his right, went to court to prove it.
