Sensible & correct decision.

No wonder the anti-happiness league don't want any changes to Bunreacht na hÉireann

My coat is already on..............

I'm mildly surprised at the decision. Forget about religious exceptions. I would have thought there would be some wriggle room along the lines of asking someone to be creative, i.e. we wouldn't bake that type of cake for a straight customer either. Obviously not.

You over egged that one.

Sounds like a major f**k up with PA tweeting that Ashers were innocent first... a lot of people caught out badly by it!!!

LAD will have a field day!

Well worth the publicity, especially as everyone testified that the cakes were lovely.
Perhaps it was all a stunt.

I'm surprised by that decision, and don't agree with it. Think it will set a dangerous precedent on what businesses are compelled to offer/accept.

I'm surprised by the decision too actually. It won't do that business any harm in the short or long term I suspect but it will be interesting to see what kind of legal precedent it does set.

The die hards will do a whip round and £500 will probably not even be paid by them anyway.
