Gay cake drama in Northern Ireland!
 

"Bert and Ernie gay marriage cake refused by Northern Ireland bakery
Ashers Baking Company accused of discrimination after refusing to make cake featuring gay pressure group slogan.

A Northern Ireland bakery run by devout Christians could face legal action after they refused to make a gay-themed cake depicting Sesame Street couple Bert and Ernie.

Ashers Baking Company published a statement on its website defending its decision to refuse to bake the cake as the slogan above the puppets was in support support gay marriage.

Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK where gay marriage is still not legal. That ban is expected to face a legal challenge later this year, firstly in the high court in Belfast, with the possibility of the action going all the way to the European court of human rights.

In its statement, the company's general manager, Daniel McArthur, said: "The directors and myself looked at it and considered it and thought that this order was at odds with our beliefs.

Gay puppets Bert and Ernie, yesterday

They should have agreed what the cake design was
and give it to them in a box covered up.

back door etc - Cash

back door etc? :joker:

yes more private

What if they ordered the cake and went round the back but there was no reply. Would they then have to smash the back door in?

lol

:joker:

Those Puppets are sooooooooooooo Gay........lol.







.

I don't think this couple will have a leg to stand on tbh.The bakery did'nt refuse to serve the couple because they are gay,Infact the couples sexuality was never brought into it.They just refused to print an offensive(to them) message.Imagine if someone went in and asked for a cake with profanity or blasphemy on,They would'nt have to make it.I wonder what would have happened if this couple went into an Islamic bakery?

No as by phone
the owner would go to the back door
and get his CASH



Life In The City

For gods sake, bert and ernie are not gay.

That cinema is in my town. Nothing to do with anything but just felt like pointing that out.

You live on craggy island!? :D

a business can choose to not make any product it likes. this non story is a joke.

A gay joke or a straight joke...???

Will they Close?

I wouldn't think so, I'm sure they were just find £500 or something

We'll have no talk of smashing back doors in on this thread LT:fist::whistle:

looks like god loves a good gay and not a prick who discriminates

They haven't even been put out by this... they have some kind of christian action group paying their legal fees and fines.... and now they have advertised themselves to the christian community and probably picked up loads of business
