A Christian owned bakery which refused to make a cake with a pro gay marriage slogan on it have been found guilty of discrimination.

The Ashers Bakery refused to make the cake featuring Sesame Street characters Bert and Ernie, was ordered to celebrate the election of Northern Ireland’s first openly gay mayor, as well as the International Day against Homophobia last May.

They were brought to court in the landmark case by Gareth Lee, who accused the owners of the bakery of discrimination.

However the owners argued that being forced to make the cake would infringe freedom of religion under Article 9 of the Human Rights Act.

Do you think they should have been found guilty of discrimination? Why/Why not?
