[QUOTE="Gabriel Maxwell, post: 17709, member: 121"] Once they obtained a business license and became a profit making organization - it's the same thing. They are serving the general public. You can't enjoy the benefits of being granted a business license (i.e. being allowed to run a business and make a profit), while at the same time discriminating against certain members of the general public you requested to serve. Businesses, i.e. suppliers of goods and services, have a duty to treat all potential customers with equal consideration. Since the 1970s several laws have been passed in the EU countries (including the UK and Ireland) banning businesses from discriminating against would-be customers on the grounds of sex, race and disability, later (in the 2000s) those laws were extended to include sexual orientation, religion, age, occupation, etc. What happened here is that a business, which most certainly did have an OPEN sign on the door [I]and[/I] did sell cakes to other customers, singled out a specific customer and denied service on the basis of irrational belief which is not a valid reason for differential treatment.
