With respect Niamh - I'm NOT comparing Gay people to groups like Nazis and the KKK, I'm comparing the principle of using a law to compel people to accommodate business, custom or practices from others if to do so genuinely offends their principles or beliefs, especially when alternatives exist.

The cake I quoted actually contained a slogan: 'Support Gay Marriage' which could be considered as incendiary and offensive to some people as any of the slogans in my hypothesis above would be to others, but it's just madness to run and try and legislate for things like this when alternatives are available.
