"Use of a swastika or firey cross on a cake is generally considered hate speech except in a historical context."

You use this as a comparative case to the people who refused to make a cake for a homosexual couple; could you please cite a case in which there was an order for a cake with a swastika or firey cross? If there has been no such case, there is no precedent - or law - against hate speech with your evidence here. If this is the case, please provide a better example.

Campbell’s troubles started in 2009 when he made a stink over a supermarket’s refusal to inscribe Adolf Hitler’s name on a cake for his son Adolf’s third birthday.

I don’t have an example, no. It was a hypothetical—several people posted them on this thread...seems to be fairly normal to discuss hypotheticals when a-yet-unsigned-law is on the table.:)

I misspoke somewhat when discussing the legality of hate speech, and that was my mistake. I recently returned from a long trip to Europe and made the leap that hate speech laws over there were somehow also in effect to the same degree back home.
