Pithy is my middle name.
It was a cake. With Bert and Ernie on. I think they've made twats of themselves making such a big fuss over it. I don't know how engaging the discussion of that needs to get. 
Yes, it was a Bert and Ernie cake.
But it prominently included a slogan: 'Support Gay Marriage'.
Sure, you can say the bakers are religious and petty.
But are they any more petty or zealous than the gay guy who runs to the lawyers over a cake?

I didn't know it was a Bert and Ernie cake. I like Bert and Ernie. If it was a religious position, it does annoy me that it's always religion that is involved in these sorts of conflicts. Because actually the more fundamental point is the insistence that individuals have to get things right as most people perceive them. Most individuals get most things wrong most of the time. That's the human condition.
Well, it was in Northern Ireland. What do you think?
But you need to divorce the principle from the religion.
I'm an atheist myself, but I can see their point.
They don't want to produce a cake stating 'Support Gay Marriage'.
So a guy (sorry, the victim 
) runs off to his lawyers and the court says they must do what he wants. Hmm.
That'll never look right to me.
