A case involving a Belfast bakery, that refused to make a cake with a pro-same-sex marriage slogan for a customer, has been referred to the European Court of Human Rights.

Ashers Baking was found guilty of discrimination in 2015 for refusing to make a cake for Gareth Lee.

Mr. Lee requested a cake with the words “Support Gay Marriage” iced on top, but the owners of the bakery refused due to their Christian beliefs.

The bakery has said its objection was to the message on the cake, not the customer.

Mr. Lee’s legal bid in Europe’s highest court will argue that the British Supreme Court “failed to give appropriate weight” to him under the European Convention of Human Rights. …

It’s not about being good people. It’s about sending a message.

I think it is more about getting a big payoff.

These clowns intentionally target bakeries they know damn well will not bake their cake so they can then sue for huge ‘damages’ and cry and whine in front of cameras.

I haven’t seen a single one of these fags go into a Muslim owned bakery and demand the same thing................

What’s good for the goose should be good for the gander.

So let’s say that - for some reason - someone wants a picture of Mohammed on a cake. Muslims believe that drawing a picture of Mohammed is a great sin. Would the European Court of Human Rights force a Muslim-owned bakery to make that cake?

The answers are obvious:

Pay-day for "damages"

Punishment of Christians.

The fun of revenge against decent people of principle.

I read things like this and wonder why the degenerates don’t understand why others don’t like them or condone what they do.

The major difference between the forced social engineering in the monolithic Leftist societies in the mid Twentieth Century, was that the Nazis allowed a fictitious "right" to private property with an understanding that the "property rights" were dependent upon acceptance of a forced uniformity of thought; while the Communist societies abandoned even the pretense of "ownership rights."

Coming Home To Roost

Freedom Of Choice? Gulliver Discovers America

Many Conservatives overlook the absurdity being rationalized in the attack on the basic--the primal--rights to manage one's own property, in legislation creating a right not to be refused a benefit by a property owner!

The implied message should offend any lover of freedom, regardless of the rationalized benefit. It is respectfully urged that the rationalized benefits are actually an insult rather than a benefit. An insult, moreover, which converts people away from taking a constructive inventory of their own talents, in favor of being demeaned as a professional victim.

Is there any doubt how this will be decided?

No doubt when it comes to the so-called European Court of “Human Rights”.

They are baked in a vacuum. Much sucking involved.

Leftists are not satisfied with you’re not liking them and just leaving you alone.

They MUST FORCE YOU TO DO THEIR BIDDING, knowing full well you will hate them even more.

When THEY come to power, they will continue to turn up the heat until you fight back and then they have an excuse to kill you.

See Hong Kong.....................

You could always make a cake, but do a bad job of it

I would sweeten it with sugar alcohol...which is what is in the infamous sugar-free gummy bears.

If the baker made a less than perfect cake, how would the purchaser know?
