Gay rights campaigner, Peter Tatchell has criticised the decision by an appeal court in Belfast to uphold a legal ruling against a Christian bakery, saying that the ruling has "opened a can of worms."
Following the news that Christian bakers have lost their appeal against a fine which they incurred for refusing to bake a cake with a pro-gay marriage slogan, Peter Tatchell said: “This verdict is a defeat for freedom of expression. As well as meaning that Ashers can be legally forced to aid the promotion of same-sex marriage, it also implies that gay bakers could be forced by law to decorate cakes with homophobic slogans."
