Bakers Under Gun in Ireland Over Gay Marriage Cake

A Christian baker in Northern Ireland is facing legal consequences for refusing to bake a cake with a gay marriage message.

Asher's Baking Company was targeted by the Government Equality Commission after it declined to make a cake that said, "Support gay marriage."

The commission said the company discriminated against the customer for his sexual orientation and threatened legal action.

"We're continuing to hold to the stand that we took originally because we believe it's biblical, we believe it's what God would want us to do, and we also think that if we do cave in to the Equality Commission, at this point it'll put pressure on other citizens who are defending their view of traditional marriage," Daniel Mcarthur, general manager of Asher's Baking Company, said.

The Christians Institute is providing legal assistance to the company. Find out more about thecase here.
