In August, lawyers representing Gareth Lee, the man behind the ‘gay cake’ row in Northern Ireland, announced they will take the UK Supreme Court to court challenging their ruling in favour of Ashers Bakery.
The European Court of Human Rights will be asked to overturn the ruling made in 2018, because they believe that baking the cake did not imply ‘the bakery support[ed] (expressly or implicitly) the message of the cake’.
Lee said: ‘I’d fight for the rights of business owners to be able to hold their own religious beliefs. I have my own beliefs. But that’s not what my case has ever been about. This is about limited companies being somehow able to pick and choose which customers they will serve.’
