I said "Yes!" before I even opened the thread because Loose Women is a ****ing awful show. Cackling harpies vomiting simple-minded twaddle into their coffee mugs.

... However, on this occasion, the comparison is perfectly valid. Either businesses have the right to refuse service based on their beliefs - be that refusing a gay wedding cake, or an ISIS cake (a hilarious concept in itself btw. Happy Terrorism Day!!). It actually makes no difference. And no that does not equate to "comparing gay people to terrorists", it's not about what is right or wrong... It's about the right to refuse business. Pure and simple. They ARE in the wrong but, again, the correct course of action is to spread the word that the business is homophobic and potentially damage their reputation, boycott them, and ask friends to do the same. You can't legislate for equality. Should they be "forced" to take the business and make the cake begrudgingly? That's got nothing to do with equality. It does nothing to tackle prejudice. The owners would STILL be just as prejudiced.
