Is pork on their menu?
Or go somewhere else if you don't like that someone is refusing to serve you?
Not if they're doing it in an illegal manner or for illegal reasons then theyre just dirty common criminals.
No, just like walking into a well locally known Christian owned bakery wouldn't put a gay slogan on their bespoke cake.
I know they also dont allow any political slogans etc from either side of the community here.
That's one of the main points of discussion here. That refusing to serve someone something because of your beliefs shouldn't be illegal.
I wouldn't go into a Halal or Kosher meat store and demand pork. Equally if I went into a butcher not knowing it was Halal or Kosher I wouldn't kick up a stink if I asked for pork and got the old stink eye - infact I'd probably apologise and leave.
Now I don't imagine that there's anything in this bakers that says they will make cakes with homosexual slogans or remarks on, so they haven't refused to do something they say they will.
If you can't deal with the fact that other adults may not like your life choices then I'm sorry but I think you need to grow up a little. It's not as if they were chased out in to the street and beaten with sticks is it?
But not if the reason to refuse to serve you is both offensive and illegal.
Sorry you misunderstand. I was actually agreeing with you. The correct business reply should have been a simple no. Or as you said, a go away quotation. But with many Christians in Northern Ireland they can't just say no. They have to go off in a full on rant as to why they are being offended, why their branch of Christianity is best, why you're a heathen etc etc.
Christianity in northern ireland is a thing and a half to behold. We kill each other to prove which branch is best.
That completely misses the point.
It is like someone stabs you with a knife and steals your wallet and you claim the person can just get a new wallet and go to A&E to get stitched up. Why bother going after the criminal?
But they do make bespoke cakes. So asking them to make a bespoke isn't outside the norm.
My local curry house don't offer pork. So asking for tandoori pork chops would be no different to asking for a laptop.

What? They did nothing of the sort, they where happy to make them a cake, then they came along with the slogan. They said now as it was not their belief?
It was these two men that made a big deal out of the whole situation, Ashers manager didn't even say a word till the hearing, what are you talking about!?
Its nothing like that, at all, or even remotely a anything like that.
Making a gay marriage cake is out of the norm, if you knew the bakery, and every one around here does, they are well know, theirs little chance you would not know this walking in.
You are a criminal if you break the law.
Compensation?
I was under the impression that same sex marriage was illegal in NI so it seems a strange judgement.
