“What was prcipally at issue, therefore, was not the effect on the applint’s private life or his eedom to hold or exprs his opns or beliefs, but rather whether Ashers bakery was required to produce a ke exprsg the applint’s polil support for gay marriage. Its puty director, Daniel Holr, said the ECHR’S lg on admissibily left dividuals and anisatns mpaigng on gay rights “vulnerable to a mercial bs refg to provi servic like prtg posters, leaflets, settg up webs etc, through claimg an exemptn to non-discrimatn laws on the basis of ‘’s not you ’s your msage’.

”The ECHR said balancg the rights of Lee and those of the bakery owners, Daniel and Amy McArthur, was “a matter of great import and sensivy to both LGBTIQ muni and to fah muni”, particularly Northern Calvert, a spokperson for the Christian Instute, which backed the McArthurs, lled the cisn good news for ee speech, addg: “It protects gay bs owners om beg forced to promote views they don’t share, jt as much as protects Christian bs owners.

” Did Phillips refe to bake a generic ke for gay people, or did he refe to bake a special gay-weddg ke? ”It didn’t help that the missn also failed to expla why Phillips was beg treated differently om a baker who refed to bake a ke wh an anti-gay msage. Jtice Kagan, her ncurrg opn, actually set forth how the missn uld have distguished the s: Phillips refed to serve gay people, whereas the other baker refed to bake that ke for anyone.

COMPLAT: BAKER REFED TO WRE ANTI-GAY WORDS ON KE

- A Colorado bakery is unr vtigatn for relig discrimatn after a baker refed to wre anti-gay words on a March of 2014, a ctomer named Bill Jack requted several k the shap of Bibl om the Azur Bakery Denver, Colo., acrdg to the bakery owner, Marjorie says Jack pulled out a piece of paper wh phras like "God hat gays" and requted her to wre them on his wouldn't let employe make a py of the paper and would not read the words out loud, Silva claims. 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.

I’VE CHANGED MY MD ON THE GAY KE ROW. HERE’S WHY

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. ” Brownlie th nclud that by refg to provi a ke wh a pro-gay marriage wordg Ashers had treated him ls favourably, ntrary to the fdg of polil discrimatn agast Lee sets a worryg precent.
