LGBT News NI bakery facing legal action for refusing cake

Not the same news, but related in another perspective: Why a Lesbian Business Owner Is Standing Up for a Christian Printer’s Right to Refuse Making T-Shirts for a Gay Pride Event | TheBlaze.com
It is interesting.

 

I have very mixed feelings on this kind of subject. On the one hand, I'd be wildly offended if I went to a bakery for a gay wedding cake, or to a T-shirt place for some pride tees, and was refused service because they were gay-themed and the owner had a problem with that. But on the other hand, if I owned a bakery or T-shirt place and someone from the Westboro Baptist Church came in wanted a cake or a tee made that said GOD HATES FAGS, would I want to be forced to do it for them? It goes both ways, and there's no easy answer.

 

I thought this was dealt with already but Yeah I'm kind of torn on it too.
If it's against their religious views then you can't really expect them to do it. If the cake wasn't gay related then that'd be a different story. But since it was, it's them refusing to make a cake that goes against their religion, Not them not providing a service to someone who happens to be gay.

 

The law is the law, hiding behind a religious text does not give you the right to pick & choose which laws you obey. I don't see why we should be an exception as far as this kind of thing is concerned.
