Northern Ireland: Bakers have no right to free speech

[Hifly]

In a way this is good news because it will help advance our cause for Religious Freedom.
Gay Marriage will still remain illegal in Northern Ireland regardless of this ruling so the activists can suck on it.

Marriage will depend on the stability of the unionist majority.

What really buggers people about this particular case, is that it redefines the scope within which the law can be interpreted.
What Asher's were doing was refusing to bake a cake with a slogan promoting something that is in fact illegal in NI. How the judge was able to rule the way she did was surprising to me, personally.
It will promote the cause of the Bakery itself. I don't know if there's word of appeals already.

The two Catholic community parties have never been big on social liberalism. So this isn't only a Unionist issue.

I think social liberalism is the wrong word here; they're pro-life parties.
