What if i went into a cake shop and asked them to make a cake with say 'cake shop owners are *****'
I could rightfully be refused business because it is up to that business as to what cakes they are willing to make. |

To answer yours though, it'd be a bit of a weird thing to do and could technically be described as inciting hatred towards cake shop owners :laugh: |

I mean realistically speaking, if a customer knew that a particular cake shop was prejudiced against them for some reason they probably wouldn't use them anyway because they probably wouldn't trust them with something like their wedding cake |
I don't feel they're fair examples either, you can't really compare anything other than homosexuals in reference to religious observance, except taxmen :/

This is a product that is being offered.You would'nt dictate to a clothes company what they have to make and offer for sale,That is up to the designers to make and offer and hope that their product sells.If people don't like that product then they find a brand that they prefer. |

Businesses have the right to refuse service, they don't even have to have a sign up saying that they reserve the right to refuse, but their refusal can be based only on negative or threatening behaviour and not on grounds of race, sexual orientation etc.. Of course, I'm not sure if that's the same in Ireland.

The best thing to do is use a little nowse and if you are a "christian" who "thinks" that the bible hates on gays and for some reason want also to hate on them then when a gay couple come in and request a cake that says "we love gay marriage" then tell them a pork pie and say you cant make it as you have ran out of icing or your dog died or you are not doing cakes this week or say that the baker may take longer as he has syphilis and its contagious
that way they go off to find another baker and the hoo ha is avoided |

What say if a strong Labour couple ran a cake making business but got a request to make a cake for a Conservatives function. That could aslo be against their views but it would still be wrong to refuse to do so as a business. If someone is making cakes privately from their own home, then they can be more selective but as to general businesses,customers who are doing nothing illegal, should have the right to buy from all public outlets. |

The first chap is the baker and the next is the "gay" They would make a nice couple The case was adjourned on March 30 with district judge Isobel Brownlie reserving her judgement. She told Belfast County Court she would reserve her judgement so that "full consideration" could be given to the evidence, which was presented over three days. Judge Brownlie said: "It is not a straightforward area of the law. "Obviously this is a case in which I propose to reserve my judgement." It is understood the verdict in the landmark case will be heard on Thursday May 7. http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/ne...-31182488.html |
A good day to bury bad news... or the right to religious observance.
