European court rules in favor of Christian bakery that refused to make cake supporting gay marriage
The European Court of Human Rights has rejected a complaint against a Christian bakery in Northern Ireland that refused to make a cake supporting gay marriage on religious grounds.
The Strasbourg-based court charged with interpreting the European Convention on Human Rights rejected the complaint of Gareth Lee. The member of the LGBT advocacy group QueerSpace sued Ashers Bakery in Belfast in 2014 over the refusal to bake a cake expressing support for same-sex marriage.
