A bakery in Northern Ireland won an appeal in a discrimination case, locally nicknamed the ‘gay cake’ case, when the UK Supreme Court ruled on Oct. 10 that the bakers were within their rights—as protected by the law—to refuse a cake order that carried a message supportive of gay marriage. The bakers were Christian.
The court’s panel of five justices unanimously ruled that the bakery’s decision to refuse making a cake that featured the words “Support Gay Marriage” was not based on sexual discrimination.
