GAY WEDDG KE LG REAFFIRMS THAT BS N’T DISCRIMATE

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.

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.

And that’s not even takg the racial wealth divi to acunt for whe gays.

The fact that some of n pay for weddgs and their k is not equaly for the gay muny. To be clear, wng a 10% premium on earng potential is a victory for palism, not gays of any class or race. Instead, as gay whe cisgenr men, we mt not ny the vatn to ntue to stggle for the full liberatn of our muny.
