If you offer a service that you're making money then you're a business and you should be held to discrimination laws. You should only be able to refuse service for valid reasons and having homophobic views and trying to justify them with religious beliefs that you've CHOSEN to believe in is not valid.

I hope this baker gets dragged through the mud, I hope Nigel and his party of racist homophobic throwbacks to the Nazis never come into power and I hope that any religious establishment that makes money from being a wedding venue is forced to endure the fact that they can't turn away gay customers.

Very well said,I agree with near all that.
Perhaps I wouldn't go as far as to the description of Nigel Farage and UKIP,I share your hope they never come to power at all.

For me, that Baker should not be allowed to remain as a business to the public.

Does this include Mosques? Would a Gay Muslim couple (and there ARE plenty) be warmly welcomed by say, the Birmingham Central Mosque in Highgate? And if not, you then advocate forcing the Mosque to marry them.

All good then.

I think 'any religious establishments' kind of covers well....anything, does it not?
