"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. http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2...-ashers-bakery Gay puppets Bert and Ernie, yesterday |

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?

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
