I see on the Beeb World Service that a baker in London has been fined for refusing to make a wedding cake for a same sex gay wedding.
FFS.
If I was him I'd send em a box of Chocolate Eclairs and tell em to shove em up their arses.

It must be tough for the baker to have his whole way of life undermined and be singled out for something he believes in.
When will these nasty gays stop persecuting all those bakers.

He should make them a cake made with puff pastry.  |

It wasn't in London, it was in Northern Ireland, where gay marriage is not legal yet. The case was won on a breach of contract as the bakery accepted the job initially and then changed their mind when they realised it included the word gay on the decoration. Is it just me or does a geezer who decorates cakes have a whiff of lavender about him anyway?

Why cant the gay couple just take it on the chin (pun intended) and except that the cake makers don't want their custom? im free to chose who my customers are......I'm obviously easy going as that's how julian and I met but, I could have said no |

I think he has every right to refuse. If he just starts dishing out same sex marriage cakes willy nilly, he'll get himself in trouble when he starts running low on supplies and has an odd number of men/women to go on top of the cake.

Is the baker not free to decide who he works for ?, maybe he does not agree with homosexuality or should he be forced to make a gay marriage cake against his will. |

Personally i have no issue whatsoever with gay marriage but i also think that if a born again christian (which the baker is) has an issue making a cake with the slogan "Support gay marriage" (which was the slogan asked for...it wasn't actually for a wedding but as prop for a gay rights campaign) when they themselves don't support it them they should 100% have the right to refuse to do it. it's not as if you're denying the people who commissioned the cake any basic human right (pretty sure that cake isn't discussed by the UN) and there are plenty of other bakers in the yellow pages they could use.if you ask me they've intentionally made a mountain out of a molehill purely for the publicity of it all and i find that kind of cynical behaviour far more repulsive than anyone expressing their right to free speech (whether i agree with their opinion or not) |

They clearly wanted to test the law. How is it cynical? As to your suggestion they just find another baker, presumably you'd offer the same trivial solution to a black person who'd been refused service somewhere under similar circumstances? |

Is this the same 21st century with freedom of speech and expression? If a couple of blokes want to get married thats up to them. If a baker wants to pick and choose his customers based on his beliefs thats up to him. Both seem a bit strange to me, but whats it got to do with me, you or the British courts? |

I wonder if someone had asked him to do the cake with "Queer Bashers Rule O.K." on it and he'd refused, would he still have been prosecuted?

But what if a shop selling something far more important refused service? The cake is not the issue, it's the principal. Personally I find Christianity in general far more offensive than homosexuality, but I'm aware that I'd be completely in the wrong if I refused someone service because they were Christian. |
