[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 122418, member: 23"] Sickening. I'm horrified by the response of the Supreme Court in Colorado because it seems so clearly defined. At least under UK law where under the Equality Act 2010 it's illegal to refuse to provide a service to someone based on their perceived sexual orientation*. I know Christianity is much more pervasive in America, but it's still shocking that the law would allow such flagrant discrimination. He's running a little cake shop, not the Vatican. If his "faith" is causing bias about which orders he accepts and which he turns down then he has no business providing a service. The Supreme Court telling him otherwise so publicly is a green light for small businesses (and society in general) to discriminate with impunity knowing they can claim to be a persecuted minority if challenged. [SIZE=3][I]*Not that this has stopped the nauseatingly self-righteous MacArthurs from doing exactly this and then pursuing it to the Belfast Supreme Court trying to circumnavigate the law.
