Christian bakers have been found to have discriminated against a gay man by refusing to make a cake bearing a pro-gay marriage slogan having lost their appeal against a previous ruling that they had breached equality legislation . Full report here.
The case was brought by a member of the LGBT advocacy group Queer Space who had "wanted a cake featuring Sesame Street puppets Bert and Ernie with the phrase ‘Support Gay Marriage’ for a private function marking International Day Against Homophobia".
According to the group's website their 'mainstreaming' operating practice is to strive to ensure respect for individuals and positive images of the LGBT community are integrated into everyday life of individuals, communities and organizations. They have failed on both counts.
Where is the equality in legislation which permits discrimination against what now appear to be minority Christian values?
It is no more 'homophobic' to oppose same sex marriage than it is to be 'Islamophobic' to be aware of the dangers posed by the Islamization of Europe.
