Can't see a thread about this on here - apologies if there is one already.
For those who haven't read the story, a bakery in Northern Ireland has refused to bake a cake for a gay person. They wanted Bert and Ernie on the top of the cake with the words "Queerspace".

I am completely torn here. On one hand, I am a big believer in "trendy" rights not trumping "untrendy" ones. The rights of Christians are just as important as the rights of gay people.
I am also a big believer in the freedom of private business to contract with whoever they wished.
But then, if this bakery had refused to serve a black person on the grounds of race, I would feel deeply uncomfortable about it.
So Mumsnet, tell me what you think!
