‘GAY KE’ ROW: MAN LOS SEVEN-YEAR BATTLE AGAST BELFAST BAKERY

A man has lost a seven-year legal battle agast a Belfast bakery that refed to make him a ke emblazoned wh the msage “support gay marriage” as the European urt of human rights led that his claim was admissible, promptg disappotment om gay rights Thursday the ECHR, by a majory cisn, said would not rensir the cisn of the UK supreme urt, which had overturned a £500 damag award imposed on Ashers bakery, which is n by evangelil refed to produce the ke, featurg the Same Street puppets Bert and Ernie, 2014 for Gareth Lee, who was a supporter of the mpaign to legalise same-sex marriage Northern Ireland. Same-sex marriage was legalised Northern Ireland last the supreme urt judgment 2018, after s first hearg Northern Ireland, a Belfast unty urt and a urt of appeal had led that the pany discrimated agast Lee, who is gay, on the grounds of sexual ECHR said the claim was admissible bee the applint had not exprsly voked his rights unr the European nventn on human rights at any pot the domtic proceedgs and had relied solely on domtic said: “The supreme urt found on the facts of the se that the applint was not treated differently on acunt of his real or perceived sexual orientatn, but rather that the refal to supply the ke was bee of the fendants’ relig objectn to gay marriage.

WHAT WAS THE ‘GAY CAKE’ CASE ALL ABOUT?

“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’.

ONE OF N.L.'S FIRST MARRIED GAY UPL LOOK BACK WH PRI

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.

13 GAY BAKERI REFE TO MAKE TRADNAL MARRIAGE CAKE WH THE MSAGE: 'GAY MARRIAGE IS WRONG'

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.
