Maybe there wouldn't have been a problem with the Irish example of the cake had it not been for the 'Support Gay" message and same sex images.
I believe that a person has a right to be Gay and to marry same sex partners, but I also believe that in a Democracy a person of devout faith has the right to refuse such business if it genuinely compromises his beliefs.
I'm a Christian but not a Church goer and I regard Christian Extremists as OTT to be honest, but I would never advocate forcing any law on a person which makes him go against his beliefs.
There are so many alternatives now freely available to Gay people that I honestly don't know what all the fuss is about - just take your business elsewhere.

I would 100% agree with you if there was one single church that follows every single thing that the bible says. However, in the Uk at least, there is not. If a church can pick and choose which passages to follow to protect the rights of women, they should find a way to support the rights of all humans too. If there was a church that followed every single passage down to the last detail, I'd let them off.
I'm also Christian but believe that morality trumps ignorance and some people, especially including the people who are in UKIP and those that support UKIP need to grow up! They're just backward and old-fashioned. This policy isn't the final straw, it is just an extra insult on top of a long line of mistakes.
