A dark, dark day for religious liberty, and all the more so because it’s in British Ulster, detested by the cultural marxists who infest the ruling elites in the rest of the UK.

- They clearly saw this as their chance to effect a ‘great leap forward’ in their war on a a bastion of traditional values!
And thanks to a trio of robed clowns, they will be celebrating tonight, swilling their pink gins with vindictive glee.

Ashers bakery loses appeal against ‘gay cake’ ruling
For those unfamiliar with the background, a smarmy creep named Gareth Lee requested a cake depicting Sesame Street characters Bert and Ernie below the motto “Support Gay Marriage” for an event to mark International Day Against Homophobia.

Lee minced off to whine to the local wing of the gaystapo, the Equalities Commission, claiming he was left feeling like a lesser person.
He didn’t previously?
How odd!
He’s certainly an odd person, as odd as a nine bob note, as we used to say…
======================
…with a very odd line of argument, as a writer in the Belfast Newsletter notes.
………………
Let’s look at a different example – its what lawyers call a comparator.
If I, as a straight guy, ordered a cake with slogan saying ‘Support Gay Marriage,’ Ashers would have declined my order. Discrimination requires people to be treated differently.
As Mr Lee and I would have been treated the same, there is by definition no discrimination.
The strange thing is that the Equality Commission argument is that I would have been discriminated against on the grounds of sexual orientation. If you are confused, you are not alone.

One might wonder why any normal person ought be obliged to endorse such an unwholesome event as the International Day Against Homophobia.
But not these days.
Dare to dissent!
That’s the challenge nowadays, not only to Christians but to everyone who believes in individual freedom, or religious liberty…

….or just basic decency.
And all such people recoiled at the conclusion, when Lee was awarded a legalised rip-off of 500 quid ‘compensation!’
Now we learn that the Court of Appeal in Belfast has reaffirmed the cruel iniquity of the previous hearing.
God damn them!
