SUPREME COURT SIS WH ANTI-GAY BAKER. IT’S NOT A LOSS FOR LGBT EQUALY.

“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.

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

Supreme Court 2017 agreed to hear Phillips’ challenge to the Colorado Civil Rights Commissn's ncln he discrimated agast a gay uple for whom he had refed to make a weddg Supreme Court 2018 led Phillips' favor but on narrow grounds that stopped short of creatg a ee speech exemptn to anti-discrimatn laws, fdg the missn was hostile toward Phillips’ Christian 6-3 nservative majory urt December heard arguments a siar se volvg Alliance Defendg Freedom client Lorie Smh, a Christian web signer who argu she has a right to refe to provi servic for same-sex se is Srda v.

”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.

Gay Amerins jt received another helpg of powerful, even movg, judicial rhetoric.

“Our society has e to the regnn that gay persons and gay upl nnot be treated as social outsts or as ferr digny and worth, ” Jtice Kennedy wrote. Jtice Thomas (joed by Jtice Gorsuch) wrote to say Phillips would also have won on ee speech Jtice Gsburg (joed by Jtice Sotomayor) dissented, argug that the hostile ments were only by certa members of the civil rights missn, that Phillips’s refal to sell a ke to a gay uple is what is more important, and that nnot be allowed to stand. - 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.

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.
