SnailyBoy Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Discrimination is in human nature, we all do it in all sorts of ways more than we care to admit, we all choose to associate with and who not to, who we invite to our houses and who we don't and so on. It's a good job we have legislation to make it illegal when it comes to providing a service, employment etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bloke Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/local-news/pharmacist-denies-couple-morning-after-954620 A spokesman for Sainsbury's said all its pharmacists were governed by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society. The society's ethics code says if the morning-after pill is against a pharmacist's personal, religious or moral beliefs they are within their rights not to supply it. It's exactly that sort of code that means a baker can refuse to make a cake that they find is against their ethics. Which is what was found in the cake case. The difference between the cake case and the pharmacy case is that the cake was being made from scratch by the baker, where the pharmacy actually had the product available on the shelf.

Another difference between the two cases is that the pharmacy case is a serious matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister M Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Discrimination is in human nature, we all do it in all sorts of ways more than we care to admit, we all choose to associate with and who not to, who we invite to our houses and who we don't and so on. So the government should stand back and allow people to discriminate against others, because you claim it's human nature to do so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penistone999 Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 Another difference between the two cases is that the pharmacy case is a serious matter. Which of course ,the Gay cake issue wasnt . It was just a case of an attention seeker trying to create an issue when there clearly wasnt one. Any normal , rational person would have just found another cake supplier who was happy to make the cake they wanted. ---------- Post added 14-10-2018 at 17:57 ---------- Yeah, I guess lying is a good way of getting out of most awkward situations, until you get unstuck. If it means not having someone trying cause trouble for you because of your view on something, then ,Yes , lying is the easy way to get round it.

If you have to lie, what does that tell you about your 'view on something'? Edited October 14, 2018 by SnailyBoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janie48 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Peter Tatchell the gay rights activist has changed his mind and is now defending the Bakers. Well done to him for re- considering his previous position. nhttps://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/feb/01/gay-cake-row-i-changed-my-mind-ashers-bakery-freedom-of-conscience-religion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any normal , rational person would have just found another cake supplier who was happy to make the cake they wanted. You'd make that argument about a business with "No Irish, No women" signs outside as well though. It's an easy argument to make when you're gammon and no business ever says "No Gammon". The reality is that if it's accepted for one business to discriminate illegally then it becomes okay for them all to do that and you find your options being severely curtailed.
