Today we brg you a slice of ke or two and ask, what happened the ntroversial ‘gay ke’ se and what do have to do wh human rights? Gareth Lee was a gay rights activist livg Northern Ireland. To celebrate the Northern Ireland anti-homophobia week and the growg mpaign favour of same-sex marriage, he wished to buy a ke wh the slogan ‘Support Gay Marriage’ and wh a picture of Bert and Ernie om Same Street on .
WHAT WAS THE ‘GAY CAKE’ CASE ALL ABOUT?
Later urt she emphasised this was no way related to his beg gay; was that to produce the ke would be to promote same-sex marriage and this was ntrary to their valu.
The judge said there had been direct discrimatn on both grounds: Mr Lee had been refed the ke bee he was gay (sexual orientatn) and bee he supported same sex marriage (polil belief). It would be the same the other way round too – if gay bakery owners’ refed to make a ke wh the slogan “God s upon heterosexual marriage”, that would be unlawful discrimatn too, as Olivia Dobbie pots out her blog post.
As the law stands, would only have been unlawful for the bakery owners to refe to make the ke for Gareth bee he was gay. Which begs the qutn, was the ke and the ia of gay marriage iced on , and not Gareth himself, that was beg discrimated agast?

Like most gay and equaly mpaigners, I ially nmned the Christian-n Ashers Bakery Belfast over s refal to produce a ke wh a pro-gay marriage slogan for a gay ctomer, Gareth Lee. Much as I wish to fend the gay muny, I also want to fend eedom of nscience, exprsn and saga began 2014 when the bakery said was not willg to ice a ke wh the words “support gay marriage” and the logo of the equaly group Queer Space, claimg the msage was ntrary to s Christian beliefs. This stck many of as anti-gay discrimatn based on relig-spired homophobic prejudice.

Ashers believ that the relatnships of lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr (LGBT) people are wrong and should not be eligible for the stat of marriage.
Surely this was an example of clear-cut anti-gay discrimatn?

They claim to be Christians, yet J never once nmned homosexualy, and discrimatn is not a Christian value. It sought to challenge homophobia.
It pas me to say this, as a long-time supporter of the stggle for LGBT equaly Northern Ireland, where same-sex marriage and gay blood donors rema banned. However, the urt erred by lg that Lee was discrimated agast bee of his sexual orientatn and polil ke requt was refed not bee he was gay, but bee of the msage he asked for. Dpe this, Judge Isobel Brownlie said that refg the pro-gay marriage slogan was unlawful direct sexual orientatn discrimatn.
