Belfast bakers lose "gay cake" discrimination appeal

Forced? No. But when they are providing a public service, their personal sensibilities are irrelevant.

And apparently the law agrees with me.

So not forced to do it, just fined and punished if they don't....coercion right?

But they aren't preforming a service of preservation ie cleaning/maintenance/repair. Their service is creating something that did not exist before. I don't think they should have to create something they morally disagree with or be fined for refusing to create it. The free market is more than capable of working out the bigots.

They morally disagree with cake? Think they are in the wrong business then.

But it isn't the cake that they disagree with, just the message iced on it. And in the UK it is against the law to refuse service to someone on the basis of sexual orientation, which is essentially what they did. They did not have a problem with marriage, just gay marriage.
