That’s fair enough. Ruling makes sense.
How much dolla was poured into this to get that result. Looks like they both had backing
As an athiest as fuck gay myself, good. Let them hold their backward beliefs and move on. Should never have gone that far.
Its controversial but fair.
If it passed, someone could walk into a Muslim bakery and ask them to make a cake with the image if prophet Muhammad or else face legal proceedings.
If you want a gay cake just go to a baker that’s not a bigot.
Learn to law.
Note : this doesn’t mean anything in terms of law or precedent.
The ruling was that if you don’t raise the issue of ECHR rights in your domestic case at any point, i.e. appeal domestically based on your ECHR rights, then you cannot subsequently escalate directly to the ECHR.
It’s a (correct) procedural decision, not a legal precedent.
This has drawn some amount of debate over the years, ongoing since 2015 I think? Legal fees being covered by a gay rights group on one side and a Christian group on the other, it was always going to drag on.
The World is probably in the best place it’s ever been with regard to recognition of gay rights, what is there to be gained by targeting and trying to financially cripple a small family run bakery just because of their religious beliefs?
For all the years of debate, appeals to different courts etc, the basic fact of it is the bakery didn’t discriminate against him due to his sexuality as anybody requesting that message on a cake would have got the same answer.
Shops should have a right to refuse service. If a racist organisation wants to hire me to photograph their party, I shouldn’t be obliged to take on the job
