To think that "gay cake row" verdict is a victory for common sense?

The UK Supreme Court has ruled that a Belfast bakery was not obliged to bake a cake emblazoned with the slogan "support gay marriage" and over turned a £500 damages award over turned on it.

For those unfamiliar with the case more information can be found here.

Am I being unreasonable to think that this was absolutely the right call, and a victory for personal and religious freedom? I don't think anybody should be forced to facilitate political slogans which that profoundly disagree with.

The original court case ruling was a total nonsense.

Thank goodness commonsense has prevailed. It’s nothing to do with prejudice but the message on the cake.

I'm glad the appeal won.
Well done to them. I bet they never wanted to be dragged into all this in the first place
