Very few things in Norn Iron qualify as 'a good idea'.  One of the reasons why I left.

Certainly there are bigger problems in the world. I don't think that means you should turn a blind eye to discrimination, wherever you might find it.

Like for fuck sake, do people honestly not have bigger problems? Is this the world we are fucking living in?

"Oh, that bad man refused to bake my pro equality cake, better call the police"

"Oh, these bad people have requested a pro-gay cake, my moral sensibilities prevent me from putting on that icing!"

Fuck my life people.

How different is, 'I won't sell you a cake because you're gay' from 'I won't sell you this tie as an anniversary gift for your husband because you're gay'?

Dunno what the cake looked like, but I'll wager it was more along the lines of 'Jim and Steve, Together Forever' than a cock-shaped cake rocketing marzipan jizz all over the place.

Do we want doctors and nurses passing judgments in the ER ?

What like a request from the patient "Hey doc, I know you're going in to repair some arteries around my heart but while you're there, could you make it gay?"

The message was "Support Gay Marriage" aka trolling the Christians.
